I’m about 4 months post-op from my extensive tummy tuck. I’ve been wearing a medical grade bodysuit as compression since about 5 weeks post-op. I have been trying to transition out of wearing it but when I don’t wear it, I feel uncomfortable. My muscles feel like they’re working overtime to stay put without the compression. I move slower and it’s a bit more painful without it. Is this concerning? I’ve been doing ab workouts to gain strength and build muscle for a couple months too.
