Why didn’t the ring affect Bilbo like Gollum?
Gollum was weaker than Bilbo; the ring completely controlled him from the get-go. So, the major differences were Gollum’s weakness, and his living conditions which made him anti-social and changed his appearance due to the absence of light. Bilbo definitely was affected by The Ring, just not to the same extent.
How did Gollum react when he couldn’t find the ring?
He sees Bilbo and, curious and not very hungry (yet), comes to the shore. When Gollum can’t find his ring, he guesses (correctly, this time) that Bilbo has it and comes to attack Bilbo. As Bilbo runs away, he puts his hand in his pocket to figure out what he does have there, and the ring slips on to his finger.
What did Gollum do after Bilbo took the ring?
What happened to Gollum after Bilbo left? Gollum was miserable after he lost ‘his precious’, as he called his ring, and furious with Bilbo for “stealing” it. Eventually he left his cave to look for it, searching everywhere for “Mr. Bilbo Baggins”, but never found him.

How did the Ring get lost?
Isildur lost the Ring in the Anduin River, close to the Gladden Fields. It slipped off his finger as he was trying to let the current carry him away from the orcs who had ambushed his patrol. The Ring was heavy enough to fall to the bottom of the river and remain there for many years.
Did the Ring affect Bilbo?
The Ring affected Frodo more than Bilbo because of where and when they had the Ring. Frodo was on a quest to destroy it, dodging Nazgul and orcs along the way.

Did Bilbo Baggins turn into Gollum?

Sauron
