Day 5 Post Abdominoplasty
Most of us can relate to the swelling. As the swelling goes down, the garment won't feel as tight. Maybe you can shower first thing in the morning when the swelling is the least that way the compression garment will be easier to get on. It's much harder to get it on when the swelling is at it's worst. I always felt like I couldn't breathe then! LOL
Hang in there, it does get better!

Great Discussion!!! Well, post op went fine (I guess). DR removed one of three drains, I guess it could have been none :-). Says everything looks good, come back next week. I'll take that!!!!
Last night was ROUGH!!! it was the first night I tried to get into bed and I couldn't get comfortable, got NO sleep at all.. Prior to this I'd been sleeping in an electric lift/recliner. I'm moving back into it so that I can get some sleep.
By the way, moosie and others are right! I guess I hadn't realized how swollen I really was because today putting on the garment was MUCH easier.
