Has your face aged following surgery?

I’m 50, I think I look my age. I get comments that I look older and younger. I have no idea what my age looks like to other people. One strange thing is my body looks younger (with Spanx lol)
here is an old thread Face to face Friday. Face before and after’s

Okay, I put it in the face thread, but I’ll put it in here, too. The weight loss has left me with an older looking neck. It will probably tighten up some, but it’s definitely having an impact on how old I look. HOWEVER, even if I looked younger before, I think I look BETTER now.

It’s strange to look back at old photos, right. You are young, healthy and happy. Look at that smile! Its all worth it.

@Healthy_life2 Thank you!!! I do smile alot now. I'll be 45 in October so I'll take getting called young any day of the week! What's important is feeling way younger than I am.

I sent a selfie I took a few days ago to a friend from college that I haven’t seen in 20+ years. (I will be seeing her in person this weekend and wanted to make sure she would recognize me.) She says I still look the same and so didn’t need to see a current pic. That made me feel wonderful. I was slim in college and am a little lighter now. Life is good!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
