Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

4 weeks today. Mostly back to normal activities...
4 weeks today. Mostly back to normal activities except exercise or bending over. Even was able to have gentle sex. I have clearance to do low impact and jog but that's about it. I carried my 2 year old about 50 feet yesterday and must say that alone felt like a work out so I know I'm not ready.
Swelling.....definately diet and activity dependent. Its hard for me to drink 64 oz of water but I know that battles it. I swell a bit after 2p every day...not bad enough I can't wear stuff just a feeling of hardness and fullness. I can walk/ shop for long periods in morning but by afternoon I'm uncomfortable and sit a lot. I'm just ready for my belly to feel "normal" not soooo tight and numb.
Weight...up until last week I really only lost 1 pound. I have now been eating less carbs and fat and I'm down 5. I hope this changes when I am able to hit the gym. Frustrating!!
Follow up...i don't see my ps for 6 months. Scar healing well with silicone strips and roll on. I can't say I see a huge difference but he said I need to wear them 24/7 for 6 months. Over all I'm very very happy...worthe every penny:)

I'm day 7...everyday overall is better and better....
I'm day 7...everyday overall is better and better...pretty normal activity except lifting. Driving short distances and quick shopping...mostly bc I'm a little hunched and look abnormal!! Day 4-5 were pretty rough around 4pm. The coughing fits were awful. I'm using motrin now which is amazing for swelling and pain. I had my one week follow up with the nurse and said all looks well. Said I would start scar therapy when all glue dries up...next 2 weeks. I will say I don't feel as flat as I imagined but I was 170
At 5'4" so I KNOW I need to loose 20lb...& wait for swelling to subside. Will post pics later:)

Provider Review
I stumbled upon dr. Hackney by reading reviews and researching ps in Dallas that do drainless procedures. He was my last consult of four and "the one". I felt very comfortable with him and staff imediately. Even scheduling an appointment I felt like a friend and not a bother or rushed. Surgery center was amazing. I got awesome care and really felt like I was in a hotel being pampered.
