I wouldn't worry about the saggy skin at this point. You are still pretty young and will probably have a better chance of your skin tightening up. My belly looks like a road map after I had 3 kids, two at once the second time. I was 33 then, and those twins really messed up my belly. I could never afford plastics at the time. I think most women who've been overweight or pregnant have gone through this.

You will rejoice in the fact that you're not dragging all that excess weight around with you. When I go up the stairs with laundry now I pause to think that I used to have to carry that much and more around with me all the time. My African Grey still mocks me like when I used to go up the stairs with a groan. I tell her "Maxie, I don't groan like that anymore, you're going to have to learn a new phrase." She'll sometimes say "C'mon", so maybe she'll go back to using that instead of the groan.
