Anyone lost over 200 lbs. and not need plastic surgery?

I am not close to goal weight yet with about 75 lbs. to lose, but at my support group meeting they had a plastic surgeon this week. I was so set that I was going to get a tummy tuck and breast lift when I got to goal weight. However after seeing the before and after photos from the plastic surgeon I was horrified. I knew there would be scars, but not that bad. Plus to see and hear how the surgeries were preformed was a bit much.<p> I need to lose about 210 lbs. to be at goal weight. My tummy is hanging about 2 inches with 132 lbs. of weight loss. It still has fat in it, so it doesn't look like the deflated skin in the surgeon's photos. I seem to be losing my weight preportionately, but in my tummy last. I must admit I don't think I looked as bad as some of those photos, but now I am scared of the surgeries.<p> Is there anyone out there that lost about 200 lbs. that didn't have plastic surgery? Is the skin just a little lose? Am I freaking out for nothing?
