You've lost a 100 pounds so far and have 30 more to go to reach your goal. That's a great accomplishment! Getting the loose skin removed is going to be another big step in your overall change. So, can you do it now or should you wait until you reach your goal? Wait. As you continue to lose weight, you will continue to lose the "filling" that is keeping your skin tone. Your skin has shrunk to fit your new body as you've lost weight, but after losing 100 pounds, your skins' ability to shrink has been maximized. This means that losing more weight likely won't be accompanied with more skin shrinkage and just result in loose skin. As far as your skin is concerned, 30 more pounds is a significant amount considering there is little 'shrinking power' left in your skin. The last thing you want is to go through a surgery now, then lose more weight and be disappointed with loose skin afterwards. You're almost there, hang tough!
