I am in a compression garment and I am miserable in this garment. Any suggestions to ease my comfort during recovery?

Asked By:pcrutti in Baton Rouge, LA

I had surgery on Monday ( tummy tuck and lipo) and today is Saturday. I thought I would feel much better by now. Still very swollen, and my compression garment is very uncomfortable. It feels way too tight! Actually today has been my worst day recovery wise. Concerned because I was not fitted into this garment prior to surgery. I welcome any suggestions for other garments. I seem to read some docs use them while others do not? Just frustrated and down . Really thought I would be much better by now.
