Hi.  I had full TT with lipo done to abdo, flanks and hips and muscle repair on 4 Jan 2018.    I’ve been given a Velcro binder to wear and left the hospital in what’s I can only describe as a “5yr olds wet suit” compression garment.   I’ve managed to keep it on for a day and a half but the pain was incredible.  I’ve had to take it off and am just now wearing the Velcro binder pulled really tight.    I’m not a wuss concerning pain but holy moly the compression garment was making me feel faint.   It also had a Zip and hook and eyes down both sides which dug right into my incision on my hips when I moved.   I’m worried now that I have taken it off that im going to upset things/make things worse or not work.   Is anyone else having binder problems?
