“When Michelangelo Saw This Lumpy Rock, He Slowly Chiseled Away to Reveal David - Dallas, TX”

Posted 30 Jan 2012
I am a 23 year young woman. Seeing my once then body, you would think I gave birth, but I didn't. I just naturally had this shelf above and below my belly button. It was also very distinctly creased. Do you know how painful it is when your mother makes this sucking in noise as she sucks in her stomach to remind you to suck in your stomach when you physically aren’t able to as you are trying to feel confident walking out the door on a date? It’s unnerving.
So out came the Cooper Clinic, Nutritionist’s, trainers, Isagenix, No carbs, No sugars, Acai berry cleanse, and other erroneous methods of losing this very distinct complication of mine. One of my breaking points was in my college years, I’m laying down on my bed, with the Ab-blaster belt in place, heart pounding while I took the suggested dosage of hydroxycut. I figured if I worked on the internal and the external at the same time I would get faster results since obviously the previously stated did not work. But, my physique wasn’t me. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t love who I saw in the mirror because I knew I was better than that. How could I expect to be loved by someone else if I not first loved myself?
I went to go see my doctor who suggested that I just lypo-suction the problem area. She recommended me to Dr. Gibby and before consulting my parents I made the call.

My Doctor: Diane L. Gibby, MD
My rating:
Dr. Gibby has an unbelievable bed-side manner. I looked to her as if she was my own family, as if she was an aunt of mine. She is so loving, so nurturing, and so patient! She has this unique sincerity that I’m sure other plastic surgeons have yet to understand. Above all, Dr. Gibby is genuine. She cares for her patients and truly loves what she does. Heck, I even booked my surgery on HER THANKSGIVING without consulting her first, and she did the procedure for me, now if that doesn’t measure a person’s character I don’t know what does! I have never been happier and I’m almost brought to tears just writing this testimony. Dr. Gibby is my present day Michelangelo. She revealed the real me. I am forever grateful. Real Self does not let you select multiple procedures, I want to add I actually had two procedure types done.. tummy tuck and suction lipectomy of thighs, back and arms
