I think the swelling is going down. I still feel lumpy. I get my stitches out on Wednesday and at which point I will move into the stage two compression garment. It’s just too uncomfortable and painful to wear right now. I’ve been using the binder 24/7 though.
My home scale said 126lbs the other day (it was 136 last monday at the surgery center). So I know I’m headed in the right direction for swelling and inflammation.
