Wow, awesome photo comparison!! You do look so much younger!!

I have a turkey wattle neck now, but overall I'm not as scared by increased wrinkles/sag as I thought I would be. smile.gif

You look phenomenal ! ! ! I'm super jealous. At 34, I have way more wrinkles than I ever had when fat. I know that my years of smoking has contributed to my lines and wrinkles, and that the damage is done. Thank goodness for botox ! ! !

You not only lost weight, you lost 15 years ! ! !

Your pictures made my day! I'm almost 36 and having VSG after the first of the year. I've been nervous that I'd look more wrinkly but you so do not! You look awesome and way younger too! Great job!

Well I am 55 and post menopausal and I have been having some issues with wrinkles, especially in the neck area. I had a conversation with my brother the other day and he said he knows a number of people who had the surgery and when they first lost the weight, they looked somewhat drawn, but that after a while things seem to redistribute and their faces fill in again.

That was encouraging!

That would be nice! I am 58 and have WAY more wrinkles than before... but thats the up side of being fat! I am using all kinds of peals and creams... as long as it doesn't fall off, I guess I can live with it!

After studying before and after face pictures of so many other people' date=' I secretly wondered, if after losing the weight if I would feel like my nose was too big or my eyes would be enormormous, or suddenly I would have massive wrinkles where fat once was. So I was pleasantly surprised with my little comparison. More evidence that when you gain weight it affects every part of your body!! Amazing isn't it?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
