F/Up: tt vs lower body lift vs thighs--im torn!
There are people on this forum who have done the LBL in stages. Moosie is one I know for sure and I believe Shari (Jupiter) just had the butt part of hers done after having the TT last summer.
Personally I had my LBL done at one time and then 3 months later went in for a MTL. Not sure I could handle more than 2 surgeries plus I didn't have that much time I could take off of work. I'm more impatient and wouldn't like waiting for the next round to get things completed. Want instant results right away.

Have you considered what scars you will be left with after each surgery? Is this with the same surgeon?
The first surgeon I saw suggested the LBL with thigh lift in the first operation. During this operation he would repair my hernia, tighten the muscles and remove the pannus all with a scar that is hidden in my underwear. The second surgeon doesn't do LBL and he wanted to just do the tt/hernia repair first then send me for LBL elsewhere. Well that would leave me with a large scar down my abdomen in addition to the LBL scar. I know some people here need the anchor cut so for them this plan would work - but I would prefer to not have more scars than necessary. Something to think about......
