Steri Strips

I had my surgery on 02/28. I am almost two weeks out. My steri strips havent really budged at all. When did everyone else's strips fall off?

I was glued up, but most of it was gone by my 2 week check up.

The edges of mine peeled up and I kept trimming the loose edges, leaving the part that was still stuck. Showering seemed to loosen them. Finally they fell off totally at about 3 weeks.

Mind fell off at around 5 weeks. ;)

I had surgical glue. Two came off by day 14, then another by day 20. The last two took the longest, the ones closest to the bellybutton. I think those were a solid four weeks.

Good to know!!

My skin really holds adhesive so my doc gave me adhesive remover pads because they would not come off. I had to wet with warm soapy water and use those. It felt so good to have them off.
