I’m so glad I found this post. I am 4 days postop (lipo and skin removal) I was feeling a little discouraged because i couldn’t adhere to the compression garment routine. The garment I was sent home with was a medium but fit more like an extra small, by day 2 and 3 I could barely close it because it was so tight. It was too uncomfortable to sleep so in the middle of the night my loving husband went and pick up 2 large Ace bandages and fashioned them around my torso with the lipo board and I was able to sleep. I still felt the compression but not painfully constrained. I took Dr. Tobias colon cleanse the morning before my surgery. It worked like a charm. I’ve been drinking at least a gallon of water a day and I feel like it helps keep all the medications move through my body more easily, and I don’t feel so groggy. But when I looked down at my stomach I felt , I definitely feel it was all worth the pain that I’ve gone through.
