i had my 'lost' implanon removed 5 days ago under general anaesthetic. they dressed it with a waterproof bandage and said to leave it on until it falls off. i asked about when to go back to get the stitches out or do they dissolve? well she didnt know what they had used, said their was no mention of stitches so she presumed they would dissolve. ok. so today DD elbowed my wound and it really hurt, so i thought i would just take off the edge of the waterproof bandage to see if it was bleeding or anything. when i did i was surprised to see there arent any stitches at all. just two lines of skin meeting together. FREAKEd out put the dressing back on and taped it down. now i am thining that they used steri strips. i can see two pieces of tape which are stuck to the waterproof bandage so i am thinking that when i pulled the dressing off the steri strip came off too! now i am slightly worried. is 5 days long enough to have the steri strips on? should i take the whole thing off now and put a fresh dressing on? i cant go to GP cause its sunday and i dont think it is worth a 5 hour wait at the emergency at the hospital.

what should i do?
