Hi Everyone,

I was banded five days ago and I am starting to see a hole in a small section of the dermabond on one of my incisions. Is it normal for it to be separating now, or did I tear something?

Thanks!

Took about 10 days before mine started peeling. It was all gone before I had my first post op check up. Itches doesn't it? It pulled the little hairs on my skin when it came off and that hurt a tiny little bit but it felt so good to have it off.

Mine was mostly gone at my 10 day follow up appointment.. So mine probably started peeling around the same time. Just try not to pick at it. I'm a picker so it was hard for me :-) how are you feeling??

I'm generally ok. The incision has definitely pulled apart. My bro is a doc and sis a nurse so I texted them a rather graphic pic of it. I'll call my surgeon in the AM to see if they want to re-bond it.

Other than that, pretty good. Mainly trying to get enough food in that I don't feel like passing out. Very happy about my decision and prepared for my long, but rewarding journey.

5-7 days typically

Well I saw the doc today and the incision has completely re-opened and the dermabond is gone. He wants me to clean it once a day with hydrogen peroxide and use neosporin. I hope it heals soon. Next appt with doc in two days.
