ONE procedure:

If you could have ONE procedure done post-partum (after you've already 'shrunk' as much as you can) what would it be?
I would get a tummy tuck. I looked okay after my 2nd child was born, but I always had a small bit of pooch that wouldn't go away. I can only imagine how much worse it'll be after this one. 
Dh tells me to just go work out, but when you have loose muscles and skin, that's pretty hard to get to go back to normal. Not saying I'm not willing to work hard (well, maybe I am) but there's only so much working out will do.

Re: ONE procedure:
I would have a tummy tuck but not because I care about the extra flab...
I had my appendix removed when I was 18. It is a 4 inch scar even with my belly button that looked absolutely horrid before I got pregnant. Now that it has been through three pregnancies.... oh my, horrid is not even the word!
Since I am done having babies, I would want to get my scar taken care of.
I'd get a breast reduction. No matter how much weight I lose I always have enormous boobs. In college I was 134 lbs with 34 DD boobs... impossible to find cute shirts that fit! Right now they're G's and I'm really scared that they'll just be huge pancakes after I'm done breastfeeding.
DH and I have agreed that once we're done having kids and I'm all done BFing I can get it done if I still want to.
I'd take either a breast reduction or more likely a breast lift. I have had huge boobs since I got them in at 13. With each kid, they get huge, I breastfeed, they shrink (more like wilt) when I stop and they are showing their age with the pump up (bigger with each pregnancy) and then they reduce. After DS2 I actually got into a true C and was so happy, but they were flabby (no, I don't want to look like I'm still 20 in the bust, but not coving half my torso would be good).
DH said that if I want it done after the babies, he's got no issues with it. Luckily, he immediately follows that up with he is still attracted to me while/after carrying his boys. Best part is...he means it!
Well I've got 3 ideas.
Trim a little off the inside of my thighs. I've always had a little extra meat there.
Get rid of my little poochy stomach thing that I've always had, even when I was in shape and worked out multiple times a week. I can only imagine what its going to be like post babies.
And a breast lift. I've always been most self-conscious of my ta-ta's.

Ok don't laugh, but I'd get a knee lift. Yup, I said it, a knee lift. I have what I call fat knees. I carry all my weight in my hips, ass and thighs, and I have a terrible time tightening up my quads and when I do it just makes my thighs bigger. I think it would end up being thigh lipo.
This of course would never happen, but its what I'd do if I could 
This is me exactly, only I was 102lbs in college with 34 D boobs! Now...well I dont even think they make a bra in my size lol.
This exactly!

You said it so much better than I did. This sounds like me exactly.
I have no idea how my tummy is going to look, so I don't want to waste my wish on that... and I was in training bras before I got pregnant, now I'm a 34 B.. so i'm not too upset about those haha
I had mine removed at 11yrs old. I wound up getting and infection and they had to do a second surgery. I look like a lopsided bag of hay. My scar has always look horried to me but even more so after after being prego!
