About an hour, but this was done on my grandmother, who was in her late 70s, so they may have gone slower on her because of her age. She was also a diabetic, so I know this really complicated things.

Yes, amputation is a big operation. You would be in hospital for a couple of weeks. Not so much for the type of operation, but to allow you to work with physiotherapists and get used to walking IF you did have to have it done. Osteomylitis is very difficult to treat but not impossible to beat. Before they amputate, they will try alot of different intravenous antibiotics to cure it. I have seen limbs saved many times...I wish you loads of luck and listen to the physios. They can help alot even if the surgery isn't done.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

It is very fast. Usually less than 30 minutes. Taking the person to surgery, anesthesia and recovery is what takes a long time.

About 2 hours from start of actual operation to the end.

My ex-husbands took 4 hour but it really depends on if there is any complications
