>Question: How soon after such an operation should I be able to pull my foreskin forward??

That’s not really answerable.

>I guess that waiting too long could cause the foreskin to loose its elasticity, so that it won't 'close' properly when pulling it forward over the glans??

No.

>Knowing what danish healthcare is like, I wouldn't be surprised if I have been given a circ without anyone bothering to tell me before or after the operation, and without anyone bothering to write it in my file....
>Question: Is there a way to determine if I have a circ or 'just' a foreskin that is stuck behind my glans??

If you were/are bandaged, have a scar where you didn’t have one before, you have then been circumcised. If not, chances are that your foreskin is stuck behind the glans, in which case it would be the best if you got it forward as soon as possible.
