I would never be able to afford any kind of correctional surgeries, so whatever I get, I'm stuck with it... for life.

I guess I could ask him to stop bringing it up, but... not really a way to do that without making myself feel like a *****. Like I said, he doesn't mean it the way my mind takes it to mean. He seems to like talking about it in a sort of bragging manner like he's proud. It's my mind that twists it into an insult. I can sort of just grin and bear it. He doesn't visit really often anyway.
I don't think I've seen anyone in the 200 - 300 pound range who needed excess skin removed. Skin is pretty elastic when you're young, as well as weight distribution (it's not sagging down as much from the center of gravity). You are not, nor will ever be, a grotesque monster!

As for your grandpa, he has been around all your life. I think the smiling is just happiness at seeing you. We old people get very lonely too.
