However my garment feels like it is rubbing my skin raw although the skin looks fine (aside from the huge swelling lumps from my surgical procedure. The garment just hurts so MUCH especially when it gets hot out and I swell. Cant tell if its helping or hindering at this point.

Answer: Swelling 6 Weeks after Tummy Tuck/Lipo Swelling can persist for many months after a tummy/lipo. Garments are an essential part of reducing the swelling but so are properly performed lymphatic massages. I tell my patients to start them as early as 2-3 days post op but it is never too late to start. Try wearing a mans undershirt under the garments and make sure that they are first rate medical grade garments and not thick, rough material garments sold at outlets and on-line. "Swelling lumps" to me sound like collections of protein within the fluid that is still present in the tissues and probably will only resolve with the massages.
