WORTH IT$6,200
For as long as I can remember I have hated my belly. It didn't matter if I was 250lbs or 150lbs it was still protruding and I felt like I looked like I had a baby bump at times.
I am an avid exerciser, between running and weight training-I feel I have done my share of trying to get rid of my belly and it just wasn't going away and I began to feel very self conscious about it. I wouldn't leave the house without a compression camisole on, if I wore a snug shirt I always wore a light zip-up hoodie to hide the rolls. I couldn't stand the skin hanging down when I would plank, and the sound of skin smacking together during my workouts was enough to make me cringe!
I began looking at before and after pictures of women who had a similar build/belly as me and before I knew it-I was consumed with the idea of getting a mommy makeover. I think I talked about it enough that my husband and I made an agreement-he gets a Harley and I get an improved body:)
I scheduled two consultations in the Fargo area my first was with a physician who was in and out and we were done in less the 15 minutes. I left feeling like a lot of questions weren't answered.
My next consult was with Dr. Lamb, who ironically did my breast reduction when I was 16. So, I figured why not go to the doctor who fixed them before and ask him to fix them again?!? (I was a 48DD or bigger when I had my reduction and went to a 38C and following 3 children and losing 100lbs I am now a 36 Nearly A)
Our visit was nearly 3 hours long and I felt so at ease that I knew this was the right choice. He talked to me like we were old friends and was brutally honest about everything!
Initially, I was disappointed that he recommended that I do my procedures separately to spare my body some trauma, I realized he was just looking out for my best interest.
I am now 8 days post-op and couldn't be happier with my results. I had a total of just over 2 pounds of skin and fat removed with a full tummy tuck and liposuction without muscle repair.
My drains were removed on day 3 and I have been comfortable and relaxed since day 1. Taking Tylenol as needed for discomfort. I have had no issues other then swelling in then evening which just means that I was doing too much and my body is reminding me I should still be taking it easy.
I will see Dr.Lamb again in a week and then we will do my BL/BA July 7th

I'm having the same procedure done soon. Had my first consult this morning. He also did my breast reduction 12 years ago. I'm worried about the scar being so long!

Thanks for sharing! Dr. Lamb is doing my tummy tuck in August, and I'm happy to hear and see more people who are pleased with their experience with him. I was also very comforted by my consult with him!
You are looking fantastic. As the swelling continues to go down you will notice even better results. I noticed improvements with mine gradually for the first year.
