I agree I love my surgery...Is anyone having a problem with the loose skin and if so what are you doing about it?

If the elasticity in your skin is shot, there are really only two choices... live with it (and find ways to disguise it) or plastic surgery.... "firming" creams/lotiosn don;t work on the amount of excess skin we are talking about after WLS.   Building up muscle mass will help fill it out a bit, but that only helps a limited amount.

I agree 100% that it is VERY much worth it, BUT... people should knwo that even if they start out witha  BMI over 50 (and therefore will, theoretically lose faster initially than people who start out at a lower weight), there is NO guarantee that people will lose at the fast rate you are losing.
