Greetings to you all! I am really curious as people always assume I am older than I am; which is not a bad thing. So I want to do a little experiment, I want to post a picture of myself now, pre-surgery and see how old you think I am. This is not something where you say oh, 19, and think 29 haha. I want the hard numbers that you genuinely see. I want to see if I age from weight loss or lose years. I am attached a few pictures taken within the last year. Thank you for your honesty. Also yes, the little boy is my nephew. Love him so much!!

Well you look quite a bit younger than I do so I'm going to guess 32?

Sorry I'm a horrible judge of ages!

I usually think people are much older than they are so always say 10 or more years younger when asked.

So I'm guessing you're 12 :D

Whatever age you are I'm pretty sure you will look younger later!

I have a niece with similar features and body composition as you and she is 27......so I'll venture a guess at 27.

Hm, 29-32 ish?

I've often wondered the same thing.

(Eta, you look young 20s in your profile pic and I think late twenties/early thirties in the pic where you're not smiling, but I've always been so bad at this)

Saying that people guess high, makes it more difficult to guess right. Some people get carded in their 40s. You have a young looking face. My guess is you could be as young as 20 or as old as 32.

I'll say 33. But clothes and hairstyles can make someone look older or younger. The first 2 you looked younger than the last 2.

      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.
