It has been 18 months since my surgery. I am about 80% happy with my results. I work out 5-6 days a week and follow a strict diet. I have gotten down to 19% body fat, but am still not happy with my stomach. I work very hard to be fit, but I can't get the results I want with extra skin still on me and a protruding lower abdomen. I will be going back for a revision on November 20th with a new PS. My original incision was too short, and there is still a lot of skin on the sides that needs to go. Also, the PS will cut out the large area of tissue that is causing my belly to protrude still instead of being flat, will remove the large hard scar tissue where my muscle repair stitches were knotted, and revise my BB. The BB scaring looks terrible in my opinion. My new PS will be doing internal stitches only, and will be able to accomplish a hooded BB, which I think looks much more natural. This revision is basically going to be a mini TT. I will also be doing a breast augmentation (lift and implants), so will start a new review to include before and afters of my revision and BA in one place.
All in all I am glad I did it, but will be happier once I truly have a flat stomach. I am frustrated that I spent $7500, just to spend $3500 more to get it to look the way it should have looked the first time.

One Year Post OP
So it's been a year, and I am finally feeling like this was all worth it. My clothes look amazing, everything fits me so nicely, I feel skinny and strong, and pretty confident in a bikini. I am going to ask for some smart lipo or cool sculpting just to touch up the flank areas where I can still grab on to some fat. I have been super strict with my diet and hitting it hard at the gym 4-5 days a week. I am still not exactly where I want to be, but definitely feel so happy with where I am, especially compared to what I looked and felt like a year ago. I will continue to work hard to get that perfect physique that I want so bad!
Almost 9 months PO
My TT was on March 25th, 2014.. it is now December 11th, 2014... just a couple weeks shy of the 9 month mark.
In general I feel pretty good, and pretty skinny =) I am not 100% happy yet, but I am amazed at the difference when I look at my before and after pics. If at a year I am not completely satisfied, I will ask my PS what else I can do. My problem area is the flanks. I can still grab an inch or more of fat and skin on both sides. Perhaps I will do some liposonix or some other non invasive procedure to help with that. Also, my scars are pretty ugly still :( I also feel like there is a bump in my lower stomach, that it isn't completely flat like I envisioned it would be. I have mild hypertrophic scarring and so my scars are raised and bumpy and still red.. they are slowly getting better, but at the one year mark I am going to look into laser scar treatment options. I don't feel comfortable in a bikini because of the obvious and ugly red circle around my belly button. Hopefully by next summer my scars will look better and I will feel confident wearing a bikini.
I still swell when I exercise, and can tell I still feel very tight in the evenings. My PS says I am still dealing with swelling, especially in the mons area. All around my incision, right above and below, it is very hard to the touch. PS says it should soften, but it hasn't yet. I feel like my pubic area is really huge now, it goes a lot higher up than it did before... but a lot of that is the swelling still, and hopefully that will change one day. At 9 months I don't look as good as I thought I would, but I definetly look a thousand times better than I did before the TT.
I feel sexy and happy most of the time.. I am glad I did this, but I do not think I had 100% realistic expectations going into it. I am so nit-picky and hold myself to such high standards, that I have a hard time being satisfied with my not perfect results. I follow a very strict diet, and exercise 4-5 days a week.. intense HIIT and cross fit workouts. I know I am doing all that I can, just hope my body catches up soon!
