Hysterectomy

I had a hystrectomy on Tuesday not sure when I can take off the little band aids one on belly button and the two above my Caesar scar.

  • Hope you are recovering ok.Surgeons usually have their own post op instructions so you could ring the hospital ward that you were in.The nurse would hopefully know.As a general rule,many surgeons will say to leave band aids/steri strips on until they fall off.Keep an eye on your wounds and if they look very red or oozing muck or you have a temp/feel off then contact the hospital.Best wishes for a nice,restful weekend.
