I gather up all the loose skin on my belly into a sort of ball, squish it together with two hands, and say terrible things to it. Stupid loose skin.

Not going to lie, you will be in pain. Use your pain medicines according to schedule, not according to how you feel. Don't be a hero in that way.
The most pain for me was getting in and out of both the car and bed. You have to twist your body and use your abs for these two things, and they were not fun.
To me, a few days of physical pain beats a lifetime emotional pain.

I said that I was discouraged by my loose skin, yes. I also said her experience would not be the same as mine.
This board is to discuss the experiences of WLS and those that follow the procedure. If you took my post to be "bringing her down" then I suggest you re-read it.

....about a 6-8. To see this 10 be so big on me. Brought me to tears. I don't know this life.

While all of these positive affirmations are nice and encouraging, I hold a different view.
After losing 135lbs, I'm very flabby. My arms, thighs, and tummy are wrinkled and crepe-y. When I go the the beach now, I wear the same thing as when I was obese. Long pants and a long sleeved shirt.
I was obese for many, many years. My genetics and situation are such that my skin didn't bounce back whatsoever. It's a challenge that I knew would come with massive weight loss, but it is discouraging, nonetheless.
However, your experience will be different than mine. Just keep in mind, hanging skin may likely be an issue, and if that will bother you, then start saving for plastics now.
I wish you the absolute best in achieving your goals!

Ha! Hysterical!
Have you considered drawing a face on it, squishing it up and making it say terrible things to other people??!

I could do some serious damage to a package of milk's favorite cookie. It was how I got high, really.
