Had another appointment this week, dr decided no laser for the bb scar. Wants me to use Curad strips instead. Bummed that after all this I'll still have another summer of no bikini because of that scar.
And still no official after pics...moderately offended but okay. I'll do my own because I think it's a pretty incredible difference. (Excuse the RS screen shot, I deleted the original pics off my phone)
Still some discomfort in the left breast. I've been eating a paleo diet for a couple months now though and have seen some improvement, not sure if it's related to that or just plain old time.
Asked again about my sides which I absolutely hate, and again he said lateral hip and thigh lift would be the only way to get rid of all the extra skin. I really don't feel like going through another big surgery though at this point.
He said to come back in the fall. I did not make another appointment though, going to see how this bb and the left breast do and go from there...

1 year!!
Hit the 1 year milestone! I'm really very happy with my results, I think the dr did an incredible job and I've worked so hard to get the most out of all this work by eating right and exercising every day.
I do have some discomfort in my left breast fairly often, especially if I go any length of time without a supportive bra. Dr thinks it will improve with a couple weeks of 800 mg ibuprofen bid, so fingers crossed there.
My belly button is still somewhat of an issue. It has flattened out considerably after the 2 steroid injections he's done, it's almost too thin now but he assures me it will fill back in. And he again mentioned using the vbeam laser for the coloring of that scar. I go back in May and I assume that's when he will do that.
My sides...I hate. I've read that it can be a common problem after tt surgery for those of us who've lost considerable amounts of weight and have loose skin in more than just the front part of the belly. So, no ones fault, just my dang body. Dr says I could be a candidate for coolsculpting, (not sure how I feel about that as I don't really know anyone who's had it done) or said that I could technically do a lateral thigh/butt lift if I really wanted to, in order to get rid of the skin, but that he didn't necessarily recommend that for me.
I did have a small revision in November of the dog ears at the end of my tt scar, which is why the sides look so much darker than the rest.
What a big difference a year makes!! So glad I went through with this. It seriously has been worth every penny.

5 months post op
5 months out and feeling great. Overall very happy with my results though the sides will require some tweaking in the fall. I can't pinch any skin at all on the front of my belly, but there's quite a bit still on each side that he's going to fix. Thankfully that can be done in the office with local anesthetic so it's not a big surgery. Unfortunately they said I won't be able to exercise for a while afterwards and will have to wear compression again...both of which give me anxiety just to even think about! Just temporary though, I keep telling myself.
My left breast did start to bother me a little, I thought at first that maybe I just pulled my chest muscle because it felt sore a lot when I would lay down or would move a certain way, but it didn't get any better with rest. I also noticed a bubble at the bottom and to me it feels like the implant is sliding down, there's a weird little dip above it too so the breast does not look round and normal at the bottom. I tried to get a picture but I'm not sure I did it justice, my selfie skills are lacking. He said we'd keep an eye on it for now but he felt like it was more related to the scar and the crease.
He did do a steroid injection into my belly button because it's formed a hypertrophic scar. Not sure how long that should take to work but I haven't seen much difference yet at 5 days post. He said he may do another next time I come back also.
Go back in 3 months and that's probably when I'll have the revision done as well.
