Just wondering if those of you who have already had your sleeves, do you find you look older? I'm thinking I will, not that it will stop me from getting my sleeve, but with over 100+ to lose, and with my age, I'm thinking I'll look older than I am with the sagging skin on my face! Thoughts?

I think I will too.

I was literally just thinking about this today. I've been lucky to generally look younger than I am and I think that is about to come to an abrupt stop. heh

I heard it depends on your skin type. (Oily or not).... I haven't had the surgery yet but I have thought of that. I had a friend who did the surgery years ago and she did look a bit older.

I've been told that I look younger now. I'm chalking it up to drinking nothing but water.

I look so much younger

I barely look my age now When I lose I look younger and shorter. I'm 51 btw.

I don't know if I look older but I definitely have more lines and wrinkles because there is not fat in my face filling it in.

Awww.....great to see you @BLERDgirl....you're beautiful! You don't look your age at all!!!!

Gives me hope! I was worried about the same thing....????

I definitely look younger. I'm 34 but a lot of people tell me I look 19. Even my close friends have remarked at how much younger I look.

I don't know, but I feel younger. I know that I look better enough that I did not mind getting my picture taken for a new ID.

@@Sleeve101 Thank you! I have good genes in my family. My grandmother was beautiful. I know everyone says that but she really was. Those pictures were taking on the day I left the hospital and at my 3 mth f/u. I'll be 4 mths on the 18th. I hadn't noticed the weight loss until I looked at the photos.

I'm 69 years old.

I look MUCH younger now than I did 65 pounds ago.

Needless to say, I worried about looking older. But it just hasn't worked out that way at all.

I've seen so many pictures of different people and most look a lot younger.

I just an appointment with my nut and psychologist this am and just kind of mentioned this to them. They did say that a lot of their patients do look older after but not all! We shall see. Just had a call to meet with my surgeon but had to postpone because of an impending storm tommorrow! Hubby doesn't want me driving 3 hrs in the snow

I'm 55 years old and down 103 lbs. Since I no longer fill out my wrinkles, in the mirror I look older, but people tell me I don't. If that's true, I can chalk it up to tons of Protein and fluids helping to keep my skin elastic. You can look at my gallery and judge for yourself. Either way, it's soooo worth it!!!
