Hi guys, I was just banded at SWLC in Mississauga ON. on Wed. The procedure went VERY well and I've had very little pain so I'm super happy! One thing I've noticed though is all my steri-strips have started to fall off and I'm only 3 days post OP. It looks like they are oozing clear fluid (does not look infected) but I was wondering if I should have more strips put back on? Thanks guys!!

HI. I would get some more from the chemist and put them on. I put some on and changed them for more. I think I had them on for 12days on total- there were 2 sites That didnt look like they would close together without additional support.

definatley get some more on there...you dont want to chance getting an infection. the wounds are still too fresh. Mine didnt come off until 14 days later and I still had to pull them off. Good Luck

I had my surgery on 4/11 had my staples out on 4/16 and steri strips placed and yesterday one fell off and the incision opened up had to go to hospital because i could not get it to stay closed they cleaned it and used a skin glue and put more steri strips on it.....words of advice are be careful so that you sont rip incisions open because the nurses all told me not to lift my daughter for at least 2 weeks and then my dr said i could and i did and i think thats what caused it to rip open OUCH also if liquid is coming out you should def get it checked i have had this with other surgerys and it ended up it was infected
