I am about 15-25 pounds from my goal. 15 would put me at the top of the weight goal for my height, I would like to go a little smaller but am waiting to see how I look and what my Dr says. I still have a gut and love handles but have been wondering if part of that is extra skin or if it is the 15-25 pounds I still need to loose???? I am hoping it is the weight I still need to get off.

I don't have a "real" answer for you, but was glad to see your question. I have the same question and am thinking mine is some fat/some skin. I am nearly 2 yrs. out from WLS and never have met goal. Just 4 lbs away and doubt I'll ever see it. Anyways, will be curious to check back and see what other responses you get.

Not sure, but I think most of mine is skin. I was so big for so long that it's not unreasonable that I would have this much. I am a size 16-18 currently. I have to move and squish "fat" around to put my jeans on. It's not like "normal" fat.
