Trying to find a story a read a few years ago. It was about a time
when science had reached the stage where one could become young again
physically. The main charater tries to "pass" as a young person but
found it impossible to fool the "youngsters". Any help appreciated

Sounds a little like part of Bruce Sterling's _Holy Fire_.

I read the first part of a Bob Sawyer novel in Analog -- the central
character got a billion-dollar rejuvie treatment because his wife was
needed for some contract or other, then his wife turned out to be
allergic to the treatment.

At some point, the protagonist is triggering a few WTF responses from
the youngster he's about to have an affair with. I don't know if that
is close enough to what you were looking for.

This might have been "Rollback".
