Hello all my post oppers;) had my pre op appt and my dr gave me the option of how I would like my incisions covered after surgery. So what's your experince. My options are gauze covered with tegederm ( a clear dressing) or the glue dermabond so what's your experience?

my doctor used the glue to stitch me up...I was fine with it....its what you prefer

My Dr. used glue also and it is it much better.

I had the glue, two weeks out and my incisions look great!

I have had 4 laparoscopic procedures & the dermabond glue was the best, in my opinion.

Super glue!!! Or.. dermabond what ever they call it. Worked great for me!

I was leaning towards the glue also!!! Thanks for your responses.

My doctor also used the glue. Glad he did. It disappears and my incisions are healing nicely.

Go Glue. I did...5 weeks out and mine look good. Much better than I expected. A relief, honestly.

My doctor used the glue. Turned out I was allergic to it. My large incision still isn't healed(I am 9 weeks post op). I also had massive itching and rash ( doctor thinks is from the glue) that showed up about two weeks after surgery. It's cool that the doctor gives you the option.

I had the glue and healed great...my mom had gauze and is taking FOREVER to heal...

I got the glue and I'm happy I did!!

I woke up to glue and have had zero complications. Healing up nicely.

Hydrocortisone cream helped and was approved by my DR, but mostly just had to wait it out, and try not to scratch. My main incision still isn't healed all the way, it is making progress though.

HATE the glue!!! I had staples for my sleeve. They were taken out before i left the hospital. Beautiful.

Had glue for gallbladder. Messy, itchy, red, and incisions aren't healing as well or as pretty.
