Final Checkup went grrrreat!!!

I am a 27 year old mother of three boys (ages 10, 8 & 5) 5ft 1inches and weigh 129 pounds. At my largest during my first pregnancy I got up to the 200’s so my body is pissed off and not really wanting to bounce back, I am however very thankful for my health which I try not to take for granted.
I made my first declaration that I would be getting a boob job when I was just 13 years old to my parents, even at that age I knew that I was doomed with the family genetics of curvy hips and not so curvy breasts.
My decision to get a tummy tuck became concrete earlier this year when my middle child saw my stomach and said “What’s wrong with your belly Mom? It looks funny!” Then my husband laughed and said my belly button puckered at him…they were not my favorite people at that moment ;-P Grrrrr lol!
The more I thought about it the more I realized that I have NEVER EVER been able to show any skin or been able to wear any fitted tops because of my love handles. Gosh how liberating would that freedom be to not constantly hike my jeans up so I don’t muffin out? I am so ready to say goodbye to the pucker face belly and stretch marks that riddle my skin.
The first thing I did was research and by research I mean scour the internet for any videos of the actual surgeries, read all of the good and bad literature about BA & TT and of course looking at lots of photos…my favorite part was trying to figure out what look I desired the most for my poor deflated girls up top. I will be asking to go as large as I can go without adding more risk of complications, blow these balloons back up baby!!
My predicament now is…do I get the BA in December a few short months away and then the TT sometime hopefully late next year OR do I do them both at once and wait until I have the time off available in March??? It’s almost a question of instant gratification or the waiting game. I am also worried about the combo pain but then again doing it in two separate operations would mean two down times mentally and physically. Any words of wisdom or advise? HELP!!!

I went to my consultation today and am feeling...
Both docs said that I almost need a lift but for now a 400cc mod+ implant will lift me enough to still be perky and have a good aesthetic look. When I tried on the sizers I thought for sure my husband would want me to go bigger (with the bigger is better mind set) but I was pleasantly surprised we had the same eye for my body. Now for the tummy tuck I was told I would have good results and would need lipo on my flanks BUT most of my love handles is not fat but rather extra skin so I may not get the smooth sides that I so desire :**( Anyone else get this news?
So now down to the nitty gritty...I will be splitting up my surgeries and getting my breasts done on December 14th for $6100. My husband is getting assigned military training early next year and after that the kids are out of school so I can wait about a year to do both together OR I can do breasts now and tummy later to have some satisfaction, I mean c'mon I am after all American and love instant gratification lol! Another main reason to split them up is because I love the way Dr. Cole does breasts and the way Dr Manuel does tummy tucks and since they are both in the same office I get a $400 discount for a second procedure which I feel is the best of both worlds. I am so damn excited that I am getting this process started!!! YAY!!!
