I will be 45 in November!! So far nothing bothers me as much as my face and neck since everything else can be covered lol I'm hoping in time and tons of good cream it will firm up a bit.. you look great!

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment! I stay out of the sun so it has helped over the years to keep wrinkles down. Will probably be worthless once I lose enough weight though. Everyone says you go through a period where you look older once you have had WLS - but I am really praying that at least one thing on my body doesn't turn to crap! After all - boobs will deflate, hair fall out, skin start hanging - what the heck else do I have to look forward to?! lol. I know that the normal response we are supposed to have is we are doing all this to be healthy - well that may play a part in this, BUT I want to look good! I don't want to be the biggest girl in the room, or have to shop at Lane Bryan anymore!! Dang it I want to be able to rock a dress and not look like I am pregnant!lol..So vanity IS a major part in this as well. I think if you try to tell yourself otherwise you are fooling yourself. Everyone want to look good don't they??

I agree no matter what size everyone wants to be happy with the person they see in the mirror. Yes health is important but so is mental health and people don't think of the toll our minds take and it really has nothing to do with being vain, I have lost 100 so far but I get zero exercise because of my job -lifestyle, I have a lot of loose jiggly skin more so than I thought I would have and it really messes with ones self esteem. Hoping to change jobs by next spring and really focus on putting my body back together... Oh and my boobs I was once proud of ...gone lol
