My balance is going down... - Omaha, NE

I am a 28 year old mom of two with one on the way in early January. I have been considering plastic surgery for a little over a year. I lost over 50 pounds after my second pregnancy. I weighed around 180 when I had a couple consultations. I am 5'6 so that did still put me in the overweight category, but each surgeon said that I was a good candidate at the time.
My goal is to lose a crazy amount of weight in a short amount of time (very wishful thinking). I know I will need to lose a minimum of 35 pounds judging by the last prenatal visit. I don't know how much more weight I will gain in these last few weeks of pregnancy, but I have my fingers crossed. I have always had an issue with emotional eating, but prior to this last pregnancy I was on the right track.
Some questions/concerns I have are:
-Can you drop weight quick and get a mommy makeover with good results?
-Will my surgeon still think I am a good candidate?
-Will my surgeon suggest other procedures and add to the total cost?
I have been emailing a patient care coordinator from the surgery center for the last couple months to get some of my questions answered. My consultation went very well, but I had concerns about paying for my surgery. I found out through one of her emails that I did not have to have a surgery date to start making payments. This made in real for me because my quote was 11,890. This sort of money is pretty huge to me so part of me never thought it would happen. Since becoming pregnant I have been sending money each month so I will have it paid off well in advance. I know I will need some extra time to get all the weight off.
Thanks for reading and I will update when I have some new info.

I can't sleep because of one of the many joys of...
My thoughts right now are "I can't afford this, I'm not rich," and I don't look like any of these other women before their procedures." Yikes, I have a long way to to.
