I was banded on 11/22. I've been good so far...but today some of the glue they used over my incisions fell off. Now, my incision is stinging. Has anyone else had this? The pre-op RN told me that the glue would take 2 - 3 weeks to come off. I'm barely at 1...

The incision site is NOT red, swelling, leaking, inflammed, no sign of an infection. It's just stinging. HELP!!!! Don't know if I should call my surgeon or if this is just something normal.

TIA

I had my surgery on 11/22 too, but did not have any glue on my incisions that I know of. My incisions have steri-strips over them, and I was told they would come off between 2-3 weeks. One of mine came off on Friday and the incision is closed and fine. When I had gallbladder surgery a few years ago, one of my incisions actually opened back up some. So, I simply used a butterfly closure to "seal" it back shut. You may want to try that.

Tia I would call the office just to play it safe, thats what they are there for. My Dr always told me that no question is a dumb question!!! The reassurance will help
