Skin removal - need to hear from others who has had lower body lift

I had lap rny in Nov of 1999. I am age 39 - 5'9" and lost down from 315 lbs to 120 lbs. (carried most of my weight in hip area) I went June of last year and my plastic surgeon did a complete lower body lift. I have a scar which completely runs arounds my middle section. (very painful surgery!) I still have alot of excess skin in my thigh/upper leg/lower buttock area. I exercise regularly but this will not tone up. Surgeon said it never will without additional surgery. First surgery was expensive and painful and hate to repeat it again - plus wound up in the hospital after the "out-patient" procedure because of severe dehydration/blood pressure bottoming out during surgery, etc. Has anyone had good success with this type of procedure? I've lost 195 lbs can still can't wear shorts. I have put on about 20 lbs because I was so unhealthy and emaciated looking in my face and upper body but my leg area still won't firm up and looks horrible. I would appreciate any feedback on someone who has undergone surgery for excess skin in lower body area.
