Have a question and don't mean to offend.....just asking

I am 41 check out my profile. Thin and young.

I had my surgery at 34 and if you look at my pictures I don't think I look any older.  Matter fact people always comment on how young I look.  Folks can't beleive I'm 36..LUV IT!  But I hear ya.  I read some repsonses and I totally agree.  Are you more concerned with your health or how your gonna look?  I understand that is a part of it.  I was curious about it myslef.  My mother had the surgery and she actually did end up looking older only becasue she was older and her skin did not have as much bounce back as it would have had she had the surgery when she was 40 or even 35.  What is on your side is age.  Then again everyones body is different.  You really don't know how things are going to turn out.  I will say this, hanging skin and all I would not give back this surgery for nuthn...Well worth it!

Thanks for all the response.  I am definitely doing this for health first I have type 2 diabetes and don't want to suffer from that for the rest of my life.  I have two small babies that run circles around me and a wonderful husband that is of normal weight and loves me as I am but wishes I had more energy to do things that we enjoy doing.  I have looked a many of your profiles and you all do look great.  But as some of you have said you don't know until you do it. I'm excited and scared to have this surgery but can't wait to start my new journey.  Having said all that I'm still trying to go from fat to PHATTTT!!!!!!

Hello my Ohio sister ~daps~

It is funny to me that some people don't  think FAT, OBESE, JOLLY BY DAYUM looks sickly but someone who has lost weight does look sickly....I'm like WHATEVA DUDE.....cause I looked liked one big mac super value meal away from a heart attack when obese ~roll eyes~

So, you tell them, you mean to tell me obese people look healthy?!

They cannot tell you YES with a straight face ~unless they are just dayum good liars LOL~

I was 29 when I had WLS....that was 5 years ago.....when people said I looked sick---hell I was LOL but now I look well and healthy like I am.

you tell me..i'm 34 with a 17 year old...
