Ten weeks - when does the numb feeling go away?

Hello, i am a 33 year old Mother of 3, ages 7,5 & 2. This just so happens to be the craziest things I have ever done. I mean I've always talked about wanting a mm, but to actually go and schedule the surgery is just nuts, right?
Well it just does to show you how unhappy I am about what is left of my body. Please don't misunderstand me. I am nothing without my children. They are everything to me. BUT what pregnancy has done to me is something that just won't go away. Before children I was 5'3 and about 115-120lbs. With each child I would pack on about 45lbs. Gaining 45lbs three times in five years does a lot of damage. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. That has improved my overall look and I'm healthy, however the stomach and the boobs and just something I need to have fixed.
Ok so Im about 2 weeks away and starting to freak...
Ok so Im about 2 weeks away and starting to freak out just a bit. I had my pre-op and decided on the size (278). My Dr. went over the surgery with me. The only thing I have to do it blood work and fill my meds. I have all the dinners made and child care taken care of. There is some worry about that of course, but I did my best and I just hope my plans dont back fire while I am recovering.
So I have a few questions...
1. When do you think I can stay alone with my kids, do you think by day 9 or 10?
I have 3- 7,5 and 2 1/2. my youngest is potty trained and my two older girls are very helpful.
2. I would like to see what everyone bought for the surgery or what they wish they had? (Im sure this was asked 100x's, sorry)
