I have 6 incisions, all different sizes. I was banded on 12/13 and none of the strips have come off yet. They sure do itch though!

I don't have any strips either. Just glue like stuff on top. They are still pretty painful and range from about 1/2 inch to 3 1/2 inches. I have a total of 5.
Im on Day 4 Post Op. When do the surgi-strips come off? My stomach is itching (Im sure from healing) but they bandages are driving me crazy
