I've been told to begin a muscle toning regimen with small weights for my arms. At best, it's only a partial fix, as likely the skin has been stretched beyond what it is capable recovering from.

As for the abdomen, your skin will likely have the ability to shrink only slightly post weight loss. This degree of recovery is related to the amount of weight you loose and even to the type of skin you have.

I got large stretch marks from my first pregnancy, and I only gained a total of 14 pounds...and post weight loss I will likely need a TT to smooth the skin again. I've not yet decided if I want to have this done.

Any type of traditional exercise which tones your abdominal muscles should be discussed with your surgeon...though I would guess that crunches would not be harmful, but I'm not an expert in the field!
