Please call you doctor if you are feeling this way. Did you take your temp?

The garment needs to be snug but not so tight you feel like you are going to pass out.

I've heard about the garmet woes so I bought one at a store in case mine is too tight.

My day is tomorrow at 6:30am in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am very excited and ready to get it over with.

I will also have a pain pump plus pain pills. I am having lipo sculpting on flanks and a tummy tuck.

Bye for now. Linda

The surgery itself should not cause you to feel clammy, you should definately call your PS. The garmet should be tight but if it's making you feel like you are gonna pass out, you should loosen it a little. I hope you feel better soon.

hi i did loosen the top part and did feel better,i no longer feel clammy,that was a really bad day for me.
thanks for caringx

Just let us know if you have any questions because we are here to help.

if you have not had a bowel movement it can cause great pressure on your belly, even gas and bloating will make the pressure unbearable.
Take some Milk of Magnesia and stay on a high fiber diet to keep from your belly being distended.
But I agree with Kimmers, if you have a temp you really need to see your physician.

Clamminess could be sign of a fever, and fever could be sign of an infection. So, yes, please call your doctor.

thanks x

My garment was also tight at the time right after surgery. But I swelled a lot. I was under anesthia for 6 hours plus. I had a tt and lipo of several areas. I felt like I couldn't breath so I loosened the top portion so my diaphram could move so I could get some oxygen. The garment started to feel better and was easier to get on when my swelling went down some. Now I think it is even too loose...:). But talk to your doctor about it and see if you need a different size until some of your swelling subsides.

As for feeling clammy and hot, that is an indicator of a possible infection. That is how I started out with my infection. Turned out I had a temp of 103. so, call your doctor and don't wait. The sooner you can get on top of it the better.

Good luck to you and I look forward to hearing about your progress...:)

clammy 7 Apr 2011

hi thanks i to had a full tt and lipo all over front/back.i really think the suit is the worst part oh and that i really want to itch my back..
i don't feel clammy anymore ,but will talk to my surgeon today,
thanks for reply means a lot x

RRSMILES 6 Apr 2011

Hello clammy make sure u take all of your meds and especially the stool softner that is going to make a world of difference when u finally make a bowel movement. Keep taking them even after your first one to make sure its soft. Try eating oatmeal also that helped me go.

As far as feeling clammy cool water shower if u can and definately tell your ps. Hope u feel better rest as much as u can.

clammy 7 Apr 2011

thanks ,vie just run out of my meds will get some more today,bowel movement have just started ...

clammy 7 Apr 2011

thanks all so much ,i was having a bad day i did ring my doctor but he was a way ,the local doc was so rude and didn't want to know ,which left me crying all day,but my daughter did sort this out,
as soon as i undid my suit at the top i felt so much better ,
today i am going to see my surgeon so will have a talk to him..as the legs above the knees really hurt.and i need more meds .

thankyou all for your comments will keep you posted x

Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 10 Apr 2011

The numbness and hard feeling is all part of this process. Give it some time and it will improve.
