Since we're in the Reading Room, I presume you mean in context of the books, rather than the films? You have to remember that Gollum had the ring a lot lot lot longer than Bilbo had the Ring. Gollum had kept it for so long that he had grown so old with age he actually changed in appearance. Gollum wouldn't have changed much between TH and FOTR. Gollum is not longer Smeagol - and that is the process of change he underwent.
Gollum kept the Ring long enough to be consumed by it, which Bilbo was not. The Ring had been prolonging Bilbo's life. The Ring was keeping Gollum alive.
