What are the compression garments like after liposuction? If I can not tolerate spanx for very long, would that be a problem?

I’m interested in liposuction, but I have IBS and low colonic motility due to gabapentin for fibromyalgia. I have a hard time wearing spanx because it causes me stomach upset and back pain at times. I’m worried I won’t be able to tolerate the compression garment after surgery. Is It different from spanx or would the lipo help relieve some of the pressure on my stomach? I’m 5’6 and 180lbs. I worry that something like coolsculpting or sculpsure wouldn’t give me much results. Thanks
