A benefit I was not expecting - The compression bandage is encouraging

me to wee (sorry if this is upsetting) I have been weeing every hour through the night since I stRTED THE COMPRESSION brilliant I am feeling thinner and I could do with being thinner. Does this happen to every one? Are there other side effects I need to know about I am sure everyone is happy to help each other ( must go need the loo) xgins

As far as I know there's nothing else to look out for with compression bandaging but weeing lots is normal if it's working well.
