Glue Pealing Off?

I'm 9 days post op, I've lost 24lbs (including my pre op 2 week diet) and feeling great. I'm a bit concerned about the glue on my incisions starting to peel off? Is it too soon? I've noticed after I shower a little bit comes off around the edges each time and I want to shower today but worried about all of the glue coming off... When did your glue start to flake off?

Totally normal.

On my 1st week post op visit the nurse peel them off.

I'm 6 days out and still have little bits. Super itchy , but itchy is a sign of healing. Doc said LEAVE IT BE! And I have. I shower every day and it's almost gone. I've healed wonderfully so far:) good luck to u!!

Mine were stuck on good for about 10 days, which is also how long the dissolving stitches last. I think you're okay.

I think mine started coming off the second week too. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and all the glue is gone.

I'm 12 days post op and its gone.
