15 Months Post Op-Is this loose skin or more fat ?

I'm at goal at 15 months post-op. I've lost 125 pounds and currently weigh 153 at 5'8" with a medium frame. This gives me a BMI in the 23 range. I'm told that I look fabulous in my size 12 clothes. But.....unclothed is a comic tragedy! I can't tell if what I have now is loose skin or more fat rolls. The "crepe-like" skin is loose skin, I know. But I have huge rolls of "thick skin" hanging off my upper arms and thighs. How can I tell if this is loose skin or just more fat I need to lose or exercise off? I thought extra skin would all be "crepe-like" and not so thick. Sometimes I think these rolls are just loose fat deposits, or do others have extra skin like this? I'm planning plastic surgery for summer 2004, but I'm wondering if I should be concentrating on losing another 10-20 pounds before then!
