Asked By:simmie1990 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I am getting this procedure done on a Thursday and having guests over for a few hours on the Sunday. My doc has asked I wear compression for 3 days. Do you think it would hurt to take off for a few hours on the Sunday morning and back on in the afteroon and keep it on overnight?
