Why does weight loss from gastric bypass surgery make people look older?

SuzieQ92 asked:

I have a friend from high school who had the surgery and since she had it 8 months ago her face is more wrinkled and she looks much older than before she lost 100 pounds. I noticed that Star Jones looks so much older now than she did before her weight loss. She doesn’t look good at all. I will say that Al Roker looks no different in the face to me. Maybe it’s just women.

Is it normal for a fifteen year old that hasn’t had any major weight gain or loss to have stretch marks?

Ann asked:

My daughter has stretch marks on her upper thighs and bottom. She has not had any major weight loss or gain and is not pregnant. Is this due to a deficiency of some vitamins or minerals, growth spurt, or something else? Is this something for me to be concerned about or is it a normal growing process?

If you took ADD medication, did you lose weight and experience loss of appetite?

Miss Informed asked:

I’m due to go on ADD medication next month. I plan on talking to my doctor of course, but I have a question about appetite loss/ weight loss while on the medication. They were recommending Adderall.

Anyone with any experience?

Weight loss using Focalin prescribed to you?

Becky asked:

I know focalin causes weight loss in people that aren’t supposed to take it, but i was wondering if you could cause weight loss by taking more than the prescribed amount even if you do have ADD?

How much weight loss is normal after an episode of food poisoning?

weight loss
Just_Jenn asked:

I had food poisoning recently; I was throwing up and had diarrahea for about 8 hours. The following day all I was able to eat were bananas, toast and apples. The day after that I ate a little more, not much and the following day I ate semi-normal. I have now been eating normally for 2-3 days. I work out regularly with a trainer and my diet is pretty healthy. My question is, how much weight loss is normal due to food poisoning? I noticed I lost about 3 lbs in a matter of days and it has not gone back on yet. I do not think I am dehyrdated, at least my pee looks normal (pale yellow). I do not drink water regularly, and unfortunatley I drink a lot of coffee. Is the weight loss normal due to the food poisoning or should I be concerned? I don’t really have any other symptoms, my mouth and skin are kinda dry, but it is winter and it has been pretty dry outside. Any thoughts??
