Where am I loosing weight?

I have been told by more than one doctor, I am a total apple body shape. However you can't seem to tell by my weight loss. I am five weeks post op and down about 40 lbs. (Myself, pcp, and surgeon have arguing scales, LOL)I've lost from the face and bottom according to my husband. He also says my hands are smaller. I notice my tops fit more loose on my upper abdomen (ie, under my breasts) but the weight is not leaving my stomach area. I have no idea why. Am I ever going to lose anything from the belly? I thought apples tended to loose all over fairly evenly. Anyone have any ideas what is going on? I started at 280 and I am 5'3.
