Question...do you look older after your weight loss?

[allyray 108]

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 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.

[Nikkidoodlebug 120]

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

[allyray 108]

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
