Just a little advice please from those who have had hip replacements. I took on a temporary job and they want me to stay a little while longer but I'm due to have a hip replacement soon. I could easily do the job from home so I was thinking of saying that I will need 3 weeks sick leave and expect to be available to work from home for the next few weeks after that. Does that sound realistic to people who have been through it?

I know two people who have had this done last year and neither were up and about after three weeks. They were in hospital for ten days then recovery, stitches, etc it takes time. I would say at least six weeks.
