Fainting After Lipo. Compression Garment Is A Trigger. Is This Normal?

HollyDollyB
I had liposuction on my thighs 10 days ago. I am 5'7" and before surgery, 180lbs, 29 years old. 4600cc were removed. Since the surgery, I am having difficulty with fainting when removing the compression garment The only way I can regain consciousness is to lay flat. During the day, while wearing the garment, I feel very out of it. How long before my body can "replenish" what was taken? I'm getting very discouraged. My recovery is nothing like I thought it would be.
