Morning hippies! And hippies to be!
Happy Friday everyone!
11 days and counting before my op! Eek!
Talking to some friends at work and one asked how long my staples etc would be in for? And my answer?? I haven't a clue!! I never asked my consultant!
How long is it before they come out?
Hope you all have a good weekend!

i had my THR 14 days ago and the hospital requested the community nurse to visit tomorrow....but they don't work Saturdays, so she is coming on Mnday to take the staples out......wish it was today, as I feel they will be really embedded by Monday! I look forward to seeing some replies to your question....and I wish you all the luck in the world for your forthcoming surgery....it's not bad at all!

I had staples and they were removed 14 days after surgery - I think that that is pretty standard if there is no seeping or bleeding - I was nervous but it was a breeze - 11 days huh? warm hug and have a great weekend

I had my THR a week ago and my wound is glued rather than stitched or stapled. I had my dressing changed yesterday and all looks OK.
Do hope all goes well with your op!
