Extra skin

Has anyone lost so much weight that you are left with a lot of extra skin? I have at least 15-20lbs of extra skin on my stomach, my arms are elastic and I have at least 9inches of skin, my thighs are worse and my back is just grotesque. I could weigh at least 20-30lbs less without this skin, I've lost 160lbs.... so.... my question... is surgery the only way to part with the skin? It's a lot.... naked, I look like a cartoon character that's melting. Has anyone had experience with this issue?

It's pretty common - if you search the forum archives you'll find a lot of posts about it. You probably are looking at learning to love it as a sign of your hard work, or surgery.1
