I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

And your boobs look great! A terrific job. Is that just a lift? Mine are already shrinking as the swelling goes down :0)
My ps told me the best thing for me would be an LBL but only a panni was covered by insurance. He gave me an "extended" TT with the anchor cut (I self-paid for the upgrade) and it did a pretty good job. I still have a few wrinkles at the butt, but the whole area looks better. He went around past my hip bones to pull up skin at the side...
I have pics on my profile if you want to see.
The fleur de lis TT or anchor TT will take care of the upper belly, waist, and pannus. It will flatten it all out and cinch your waist. My insurance paid for the panni and I added on the upper procedure for the fleur de lis. I also added on lipo on the flanks/upper thighs.
Talk to your doctor. He will tell you what will give you the best look. You only want to do this once though. You'll save on anesthesia, facility cost and time off work if you do the right surgery once.
