What's the difference?

I am 10 months out, have lost approx. 120 lbs., gone from size 24 to 10, all is wonderful. Am about 15 - 20 lbs. from goal. However, I do have a question about the loose skin thing. I work out regularly, do weights plus cardio, and have fairly good muscle tone...but some of it's buried under what I can only call "flab". It's not fat the way I knew fat when I was MO; and I don't think it's loose skin, which I imagine being much thinner and more droopy than this. It's just...well, flab! I do plan to continue my weight loss to goal, and to continue exercising and doing weights etc. -- I feel very healthy now, and am smaller than I have ever been as an adult -- but will this "flab" go away? Or is it really just the infamous and dreaded loose skin thing that everyone talks about? I can live with it one way or the other, but am curious to know what others think, and what more experienced post-ops have done about this problem. Thanks!
