36 Year Old Getting Lipo on Thighs, Flanks, and Stomach - Plymouth, MN

Well, I've literally been thinking about getting lipo on my inner thighs since I was a child. I've always struggled with fat inner thighs that always have rubbed together causing me rashes. I'm tall- 5'8" and currently 168#. No matter my weight- even at 140# in high school, they rubbed together. I've also became a runner in the last few years and my large butt causes me pain when I run.
After my 2nd (and last) child, I went on a low carb diet along with breast feeding and got down to 155# and felt great about myself, but the problem areas were still there. I have gained back some weight and am now at the heaviest I allow myself to be :)
I have my surgery consult scheduled for Jan 13th to over a bunch of stuff, and hoping the doctor has some ideas of what can be done with my rear. The ps i've seen for consults all said the shape of my rear is nice, but to me, it's very over fat and I'm not sure if they can remove that amount of fat along with my thighs in 1 procedure. My absolute dream is to have the "thigh gap" and not have my inner thighs touch again!
I don't have much for stretch marks which makes me very lucky, and I don't feel like I have extra skin on my belly, but I feel like I look about 5 months pregnant and I have rolls when I bend over and stretch. I've also been very lucky with having nicer, perkier breasts after having kids- thank you children! It may also have to do that I have hyperprolactinemia which causes me to produce milk constantly- not really a problem as it doesn't leak, but will come out if expressed.
My goal in the next 8 weeks before surgery is to drop another 10# and build up muscle. I've been doing a daily at home workout with tricep dips, squats, jumping jacks, abs, push ups etc and running daily. I injured myself this fall and have just been able to return to running, so I was in better shape this summer. I'm not super athletic, and am mostly a couch potato but this impending surgery is definitely motivating me! It's been hard during the holidays to keep to my low carb diet... I hope to tone myself up somewhat so there's more fat that can be removed as there's some state law that says they can only take off like 4L of fat at one time safely.
I'm mostly excited but a little scared- mostly of the anesthesia. I can handle pain- I had to be induced with 2 kids and I know the pain will subside eventually. I've had anesthesia before and never had an issue, but I'm a veterinarian and know there can always be unforeseen complications.

Here's my before. I'm getting a little discouraged looking at others posts and that I won't have as nice of results. I'm thinking of getting my back done too since I'm getting the dreaded back roll! I have my final consult in 4 weeks.
I've been working out daily doing at home stuff (crunches, squats with kids on my back, pushups etc) and weight lifting 3x a week to help build muscle along with running, rowing, and HIIT running.

Not really on my low carb diet, but not over eating either. I'm starting to fit into some smaller jeans, but feeling super fat looking at these pictures.

Well, I'm starting to get nervous and excited! I had my final pre op exam last Wednesday and everything is set to go. I'm a little nervous that he won't take as much off my rear end as I'd like, but I'll double check with him the day of surgery just to make sure what the plan is. I'll post more the day of. Wish me luck!
