I have not been sleeved yet, waiting on my surgery date. For those who have lost weight over six months or more, I would like to know have you notice your face sagging from the large amount of weight loss. I worry about my face looking old after weight loss. Please share your stories on this to help me.

I just had my surgery 11 days ago but I have lost 51 pounds since july 10th. So far no face sag. I am worried about looking older too. So far I don't. I am more worried about having major elephant body and rear wrinkles and sags but Ihave about 95 more pounds to go s o I am not sure what will happen in the future. Hopefully exercise will keep the elephant wrinkles away.

My face was the first obvious place i was losing weight from. I am down about 70 now and no sagging just not so round and no jowels now. It will be fine and your face will better and better every day

I had about two months that my faced looked to me to be sagging a bit, Throughout I kept moisturizing and using a facial scrub to do what I could. The last month or so, it does not appear to be as bad. It looks healthier. I think it just took some time to catch up.

Thanks for all the feedback. I work around really negative people and they are always talking about people and especially if they have lost a lot of weight. I don't plan on telling them about my weight lost surgery, but I sure don't want to start looking old and give them any reasons to have something to say. Thanks

You can see before and after pictures of my face in my photo gallery area. I think I have some after pictures of my belly there too -- my belly is really the only wrinkly place I have, and you need to keep in mind that I gave birth to four kids, so it stood up to a lot of abuse. :)

I don't have any in my face, but I do have some in other areas (inner thighs, lower tummy, and upper arms to be specific). But clothes and spanks hide those pretty well.
That being said, don't let that be a deterrent. I'd rather have skin that sags a bit and be healthy!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
