I'm 7 weeks post-op after having a 360 body lift. How do you know when you're ready to not wear the compression garment anymore?

I've been diligent about wearing my garment and for the last week or so I've not wearing it as much and either wearing spanx shorts or just underwear. I've noticed now that I'm a bit achy, the incision area is fairly sensitive and there has been some minor pain after "weening" myself off of the compression garment. Do these symptoms mean I should still wear it 24:7 or is this just normal?
