Surgery to lose weight is invariably a way-too-rapid form of temporary stop-gap measure that only works for a time, and does nothing to fix the cause of the issue. It's pandering to those who want it, but don't want to fix what's wrong. When you go the safe, reasonable route (which is basically going back the way you came in), you'll be losing weight at 2-3 pounds a week max, and the body has time to adjust the skin to match the new weight.
When you do something like gastric bypass surgery, the weight loss is much more rapid for a time, and the body can't keep up. By the time it could have, the skin flaps may have been accepted as "the new me", and would therefore remain in place as a representation of the new self image, if they did remain in place.
