WLS Surgery---Flabby skin

I am hoping to have surgery and have my initial consult scheduled tomorrow, as a matter of fact. I have noticed alot of talk about tucking this and tucking that, with this operations paid for on a cash basis. I am 200 pounds overweight, I do carry my weight well, but just how much skin are we talking about? I know I shouldnt be worried about appearences yet, but doesnt skin have some elasticity? I know my problem areas will probably need attention, but is there any NON surgical means to deal with this? Creams, supports and such not? I am only 35 and my skin still seems to be in pretty good shape. Doesnt exercise help? I am a single mom of modest means and may never be able to afford plastic surgery. Please let me know it any one has any feelings on this. It is becoming a source of depression for me. Thanks all!
