To me I think it all depends on the person their age and things along those lines it also depends on how much nutrition you're getting and everything like that to not everyone even if you had the same surgery does the same nutrition plan just because it's different doctor for doctor you also have to take into effect the person's age as well to know someone that's 19 that loses weight is going to have a better skin retention and someone's 50 and loses weight these are all things that you have to take into account when you're looking at everyone's picture and I'm grown and there will be a time where your skin may be a little soggy or a little looser Intellicast is up with you your skin and muscles and all that stuff take a while to show their true nature and catch up to the form that you want them to be so your weights going to come off quicker but you still Also may need toning and things along those lines and also to if you're losing weight too fast and you're not getting your Vitamins you're going to look malnutrition

Thanks for the feed back everyone. May I ask how old everyone is?

What is your question though? The point of the surgery is to have better health and live longer because obesity will certainly have the opposite effect.

I went from 327lb. - 126lb and I was 28 years old and 5 ft 9 in. Everyone said I looked like I was in my 60's and I was way to skinny. This also happened to my cousin she was 350 pounds and got down to 85 pounds. We both lost all our teeth and I did the Protein shakes exactly like I supposed to. I would never go back and do it again. It's been 12 years and I still can't eat anything and have had 17 surgeries from complications from gastric bypass.

@JamieLogical Your "Han Shot First" shirt rocks!

I've gained 70lbs back from being in bed 8 weeks and sometimes even longer if there were complications. I got do depressed I wouldn't eat all I would drink is 1 dr.pepper a day from sonic, my husband would bring it to me before he went to work and the dr. Said that's why I gained back some of the weight over 10 years time. So now I'm trying to lose the weight.

I'm now 37. The "before" pictures I posted were all taken between August and November of 2009, so I would have been 30 in those.

My "after" pictures range from September 2015 (when I hit goal) to April 2016 (when I ran my first half marathon). So I would have been 36 and 37 in those.

I totally understand your concern. I'd be lying if I didn't say I had the same thoughts you're thinking.

I do feel that some initially look older but when their skin firms and their hair thickens back up they look younger again.

I was 224, 5' 6" and my goal was 140....when I hit 150 I felt like that was thin enough. At first I think I did look old ....I don't know if I'm just getting used to it or if i learned to wear my hair differently, makeup differently, and my skin has firmed up some.

Good question/observation.

I'm certainly happy with my choice.
