I would like to know how much help thse of ypu who haave had the surgery had to have aftery our surgery. (caregiver) The advise I've receivied so far is no help at home to help for one week. please advise. Carol, My dad needed assistance caring for his bandages. Other than that, I am pretty sure he could have managed on his own, maybe even better than before the surgery. Are you saying you have no help?
