To think cosmetic surgery might hold the answers?

My body has changed so much after two children - DD, the youngest, is 18 months old and I still don't feel normal. Like I'm wearing a fatsuit that is heavy and uncomfortable.

I'm a bit overweight (not obese) but that's not really a problem. I have a stone to lose; I've lost it before and I know I can lose it again when I'm in the right mindset (have had an unbelievably crappy year with stress and depression). I'm 5' 6", a size 14, and while I'm a bit rounder and a size up from what I've been for most of my adult life I'm not that far off.

It's my breasts and my stomach. I've gone from a 34C to a 34G in the last four years. My stomach sticks out, probably due to diastasis rectii which has worsened after a second pregnancy. My belly skin is so saggy and coupled with the front protrusion it rests on my knees when I sit down. I feel like I'm wearing a stranger's badly-fitting body.

AIBU to think cosmetic surgery might be the answer?

Lose a stone first, tighten up your body by walking more & exercising and see what you look like then. Surgery is painful & risky, general anaesthetics are not fun.
