Just had bbl surgery today. I have on a garment with absorbing pads underneath.As soon as I got home I noticed I was soaked & leaking blood.I called dr & he said its normal.It's now 6hrs later & when I get up I'm still leaking,leaving blood on the absorbent pad I put down & if I touch garment still soaked, & I get dizzy.Also, just started my period.I Already asked my dr but want 2nd opinion.Dr told me not to take garment off & leave the soaked gauze in place so incisions could clot until 5th day
