Starting BMI 40

Hello everyone. I am being sleeved on 12/13 and my weight prior to my liquid diet was 243 night 5'4.5. I realize looking at before and after pictures many started at a higher weight then I am but I'd like to know what to expect with loose skin. I am 30 years old. My face is pretty full do you think my cheeks will be saggy? I know it sounds petty but I am inquisitive. I am so excited to change my life and have struggled with weight since before puberty so this is my chance to really make a difference. I am by nature a planner and rule follower so I have done so so so much research. Many nights watching YouTube videos of what to expect. Please let me know if you had a similar starting weight and if you think your journey differed much from the common consenses. Thanks so much in advance.

I think my ass was the hardest to swallow. I didn't realise till I was in the shower. And looked back and my ass had gone. It was like... Part of the back of my thigh. Just deflated dipped then somewhere else....[emoji33]
