I wear my compression garment all day & night but it gets super uncomfortable after eating ( feels tighter of course) So is it okay take off then put back on once my food settles?

Answer: Compression garments It's unclear what type of compression garment you are wearing or how long it has been since your surgery, so I am unable to provide you with clear advise. However, I usually suggest that my patients should wear the compression garment at all times other than when showering for at least the first 6 weeks. If you are feeling a little bloated, you could try avoiding starchy, carbohydrate heavy or gluten filled foods as they are more likely to expand the stomach and make you uncomfortable. Instead, stick to protein sources which will keep you full with green veg.

Answer: Compression garment Hi, Thank you for your post. I would recommend making sure that your garment fits properly if it is hurting you. I have my patients stay in the garment except for when they are showering. This decreases the risk of healing problems. I would call your surgeon for a follow up to see if they have a garment that might fit you a little better.
