lol. well at 29 you're still young, and likely don't have to worry about wrinkles, anyway!! stay out of the sun, use a good moisturizer. you'll be fine!

Age is definitely on your side. I probably have a little bit of wrinkling that I didn't have, but I am 50. Either way, getting my girlish figure back makes me look younger, lol!

All the best!

People are still surprised by my age. I think genes has a lot to do with it in my case. My mom died in her 60s but she looked like she was in her 40s. I'm always told I look like I'm in my 20s. Weight loss hasn't changed that - turkey waddle and all.

I've been told I look younger... I think it can go either way.

I had OHIP approved Duodenal Switch surgery with Dr. Dennis Hong at St. Joseph's Hamilton on March 7th, 2012. Want more information on the DS in Ontario? Send me a private message!

You know I was worried about the same thing before surgery as a friend of mine looked what I thought was older and age is not on my side at 60 yrs... but I must be blessed with good genes... because this grandma does not look her age with 97 pounds gone! LOL either than or I need new glasses... LOL!
Enjoy your day, Donna
