Unhappy with my appearance

March 15th will be 8 years since I had WLS and I have become quite dissatisfied with the way that I look. Although I feel quite comfortable with my clothes on, undressed or with less clothing is purely UGLY and a sore site. The loose skin and the dimples beneath the skin is simply unbearable. I am recently separated from my soon to be ex husband and whenever we would argue he would reinforce that no one would want me with all of that saggy loose skin and that they may like me with my clothes on, however, that I a total mess with my sagging boobs, flapping arms and dimpled skin on my thighs. I can't afford plastic surgery and as bad as I feel, I would be willing to be taken on as a "PRO BONO" test case and possibly risk my life just so that I could enjoy the skin that I am in. I find myself wearing long sleeves in during the summer and keeping my arms close to my sides because of my "wings". I am often told how "pretty" I am but how can feel pretty when I am living in fear of anyone seeing me without clothes or even with short sleeves on? Does anyone have any suggestions. I am really depressed and bothered by this. I would love to get a body lift, however, as a single mom that is impossible unless I win the lottery. Thanks Signed, Not Loving the Extra Skin I am In
