Sometimes if you're lucky enough to get a neatfreak dr they will do beeeeyooootiful invisible sutures - sewn from the inside so you can't see the thread at all. I had one like this and it healed to a gorgeous nearly invisible scar.

Most wounds are reviewed 7-10 days after the procedure. I'm disappointed for you that the nurse didn't go and call the Dr who did the procedure and ask them when they wanted it reviewed. That wouldn't wash where I work.
You could pop into the pharmacy and show them the site and they could tell you how it's been dressed and then you could buy more of the product and place over it. I'd be reluctant to tape down a 5 day old dressing that was coming away or pulled off and replaced. If you were told it was ok to take the dressing off when it fell off, I'd leave it open.
I'd call your GP and make an appointment for somewhere between days 7 and 10 to get them to look at the site to make sure it isn't infected (routine post op) and to see how it is healing.
Hope it's not still sore after the elbow!
