Metformin for Insulin Resistance in achieving weight loss: How long does it take to work?

I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance and have been prescribed 2500 mg metformin daily.

Many ppl with PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance lose weight bc their insulin isnt working properly without the aid of metformin or the like. I have been on it for over a week and have not lost any weight.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced weight loss after a couple weeks, rather than immediately.

I am planning to potentially travel to Germany and/or Russia sometime soon, and since I have never traveled outside the US, I have a couple questions:

How can I even the odds and create a visible, potentially destructive deterrent, so those idiots will avoid me?
