I was banded on Friday 10/21, and was wondering about putting anything on the incisions to make them heal better? My Dr. used Dermabond (super-glue), and said to not clean it or rub on it for a couple of days...

Did anyone put some antibioptic on it? Or what? just kinda freaks me out to not put any medication on a wound!! LOL

I had my surgery on 9/28, I didn't put anything on them and they healed real nice...no problems at all!

No, you need to follow your Dr's instructions exactly. And make sure that you keep it dry. Antibiotics and other creams are unnecessary and can impede the healing process.

My doc said do not put anything on them at all. The glue should wear off naturally and the wounds will heal just fine.

I also had derma bond on my incisions. Banded 10/12. They have healed nicely. No need for ant biotic ointment. I just don't scrub the area when I shower, just let the water clean them. Surgeons know what they are talking about, especially when it comes to wounds that they create!

I was banded on 9/15, and waited until mine were healed, which was about a month and am now putting Vitamin e oil on them at night. It's too oily to use with my good clothes, so I won't use it during the day. It's supposed to help "fade" them. I've used it on the incisions from my gallbladder, hysterectomy, and bunion surgery - and they are barely noticeable. It also helps with the itching!

Stick to doctors order. I was banded on 9/22 and I waited until my surgeon told me it was okay to take or put anything on my incisions.
