Typically, an Activa® DBS System is not activated until a few weeks post-surgery. Your symptoms may decrease at that time.

Patients are allowed only limited movement immediately after hip replacement surgery. When the patient is in bed, the hip usually is braced with pillows or a special device that holds the hip in the correct position. The patient may receive fluids through an intravenous tube to replace fluids lost during surgery. There also may be a tube located near the incision to drain fluid and a tube (catheter) may be used to drain urine until the patient is able to use the bathroom.

You may be a little drowsy and may not remember much about the operation or you may be quite awake and alert. This partly depends on the type of medication that was used to make you drowsy before the operation. After surgery, most patients are surprised at how easy the whole experience was.

Yes. People do it all the time. You should be comfortable with your activity restrictions by the time you leave the hospital, which would include how to accommodate getting in and out of a car.

Although circumstances vary from patient to patient, you are likely to have some or all of the following after surgery: You will find that a large dressing has been applied to the surgical area to maintain cleanliness and absorb any fluid. This dressing is usually changed 2 to 4 days after surgery by the surgeon.

Right after the surgery the patient receives a compressive dressing around the treated areas. After abdominal Liposuction and all the areas below it (hips, thigh etc.), the compressive dressing will be replaced after one night by a particularly flexible support garment.
