I have heard from lots of folks that due to the rapid weight loss, skin gets saggy and your color does not look good. Is that true? I guess age would be a factor also. Thank you for your reply. I am 36 so would love to hear from folks my age.

I've noticed that some of the people who get the RNY surgery look a little dried out, skin wise. But I haven't seen that in sleevers. I suppose its because of the Vitamin deficiency in the RNY patients.

I only know one person who's had the sleeve personally, but know plenty who've had RNY who look older. I think it's due to the rapid loss versus deficiencies. My neck has slimmed down SO much and I've noticed some slight excess skin. Not to the point where I think I look older, but I'm 34 and the skin is tightening up each week. If I were 50, I could see it being worse and actually bothering me.

I am 34 years old and everyone says how much healthier my skin looks (glowing, without breakouts which I used to get alot of because of the type of food I was eating) and my hair is shiny and I recently took my oldest daughter who is 18 now to an appointment and the older receptionist asked her why her older sister filled out her papers... She had to say... Thats my mother! so I would say YOUNGER! I do use face creams though and moisturize daily with one that has sunscreen.

I'm 47 and have been told that I look younger. The skin on my face and neck seems to have bounced back and I don't have any wrinkles yet. I certainly should because I have smoked for ... wow, over 30 years and am constantly in the sun. A lot of things come into play, especially genetics. I think skin with more melanin in it (darker skin) resists wrinkles a little better.

I'd rather take a few wrinkles than bloated and sick any day. That's how I was.

I'm 34 and I feel younger, I also get the whole glowing thing. My aunt did ask me if I was pregnant because I just had a radiant glow about me.

I'm pushing 41 and I don't have people telling me I look younger but I do get loads of compliments. I've always taken care of my skin/face so I'm lucky not to have any droopy skin around my face/neck.

I was at a business meeting about 1.5 months ago and was talking with a senior manager (female) about work related issues during a lunch. At some point age came up and I mentioned I'd be getting the "4.1 upgrade" this summer and she turned to look at me with a completely stunned look on her face. She told me she was going to ask someone how old I was and I just took it as a compliment!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
