Can I Pick Up Kids After Mommy Makeover?

Q
qmommyx2Oct 15, 2011

I am anticipating having a mommy makeover this summer (breast augmentation and tummy tuck). I'm in fairly good shape now but am just really unhappy with my body post twins. By the time I have my procedure my twins will be 23 months old. When will I be able to lift them? I will have my mom and my husband to help me for about a week but after that I'll be on my own. Thanks.
