I know you hate to hear this but "it all depends" on several factors. How heavy you've been, how often you've lost and regained, how many kids you've had, if you smoke, how old you are, etc. Personally, I have very saggy skin under my arms and my inner thighs. My tummy isn't too bad. Never had stretch marks there even when I had two babies. I'm 56 so I expect to see less elasticity. I intend to have PS on my arms since they're hard to hide but may not have anything else done. My lower legs aren't bad, just the upper thighs so I can wear a pair of shorts over a swimsuit and hide them too. From all I've seen, the skin does not shrink too much in the arms, breast, tummy and upper thighs. The face usually seems to be okay after a bit but most people have to have PS to get rid of the excess skin.

If you already have an apron, it will get smaller in volume, but will still hang down.. maybe even more. My arms sag, but they are the least saggy part. You can't do anything to elimnate these problems. How you'll look depends on genetics and other things like how large you are and how long you've been MO, and how old you are. Exercize does build muscle to help fill up the flab, but doesn't shrink the skin.
