How long did you honestly wear your binder?

I'm 3 weeks post op, I've worn in 24/7 up until yesterday, I slept without it and finally slept through the night. Some surgeons don't even recommend it. I didn't have lipo and I think that's a big factor. I believe my surgeon said try to wear it as much as possible.. but I hate it. Maybe 8 hours a day? UGH anyone have insight?
