I'm transgender women who had weight loss surgery 02/14/2018 and lost about 200pounds now I'm left with my excess skin So my question is what are some things I can do hide excess skin so I can feel more feminine.

The best non-surgical way I can think of is shaping garments. They help smooth things out and gives you a more defines shape,

I also lost over 200 lbs. I've since had my excess skin removed because it was driving me crazy, but I lived with it for a couple of years. I just figured out how to dress to take advantage of the "good" parts and hide the "not-so-good" parts.

I carried my weight high - I was apple-shaped. My hips, butt, and thighs were fine, but I was built like a linebacker with a big gut. So I had tons of excess abdominal skin, very droopy boobs, and moderate batwing arms. So I'd wear long-ish, slightly oversized tops with 3/4 length (or longer) sleeves and "tummy control" leggings, mostly (although something like Spanx would work as well for pulling in the gut rolls). Also, I sometimes wore things like red (or other vibrant color) pants in hopes of drawing people's eyes away from my "problem' areas. I'm not really into fancy hair styles and make-up, but something like that might draw people's attention away from "problem" areas as well. Anyway, here I am BEFORE I had all the skin removed. As you can see, it's fairly well hidden by just dressing strategically:

Even though it is expensive and rarely covered by insurance, to me plastic surgery was essential to really finishing the job There was a quote in a book, "Weight loss surgery gave me back my health, plastic surgery gave me back my self-esteem". If people can spend $50,000 or more for a car, I consider my body and self esteem more important.

I agree. I spent more than that adding a three-season porch to my house. I enjoy my new & improved body as much (if not more than!) my porch!
