Default I should be happy....but I'm not

I've been overweight pretty much all of my adult life but never as big as I was after having my last son. I weighed in at 265 pounds. I had a c section and was trying to recover from that when I fell and shattered my ankle. I had to have reconstructive surgery and was off of my feet for another 3 months. I couldn't support my own weight on crutches and was just disgusted with myself. Needless to say I gained more weighed and the scale couldn't even get my weight because the numbers didn't go that high. When I learned how to walk again and was able to leave my house, the depression lessened and I started doing Paleo/Low Carb. I went up and down but have managed to drop more than 70 pounds and keep it off for over a year. I went to the Dr and he said I have 40 more to lose, and put me on orlistat/Xenical which makes no sense because of the high fat intake. I should feel happy that I've lost the weight but my body is a mess. My skin is so loose and hangs. I'm in my 32 and thought it would bounce back. My dr is recommending I do surgery to get my pannus removed because it hangs so bad. Does anyone else feel this way after they have lost most of the weight? Does the skin ever tighten back? I notice my face looks more wrinkled too.
