Gastric Bypass Exercises

Hi all before my question I need to give you a little background!
In 2008, I had Gastric bypass surgery and I lost over 100 pounds though I never did get down to my goal weight. I was still about 40 pounds away when I had my first pregnancy (which ended in miscarriage).. I then got pregnant with my daughter, and then only 8 months after her birth I got pregnant with my twin sons. With each pregnancy, I held onto about 5-7 lbs. Then (my WORST DECISION EVER!!!) I chose mirena as a birth control method and with 3 months I gained 25 pounds!!! (def due to mirena as I've been able to keep the majority of my weight off for almost 6 years!) I got rid of the mirena and we chose to have my husband "fixed" instead.. Now I'm ready to get started again on a new weightless journey.
On to the question:
Needless to say, the skin on my stomach has been through ALOT in the last 6 years! I have a lot of loose skin but also a lot of extra weight to now work off. I am looking for some suggestions on what methods/exercises/routines to help tighten and tone my stomach as much as possible (tummy tuck surgery is totally NOT an option right now.)
Thanks in Advance
