I have had it with these freaking strips. I am 5 weeks post op and they still havent fallen off! Were they super glued on to me? When did they fall off for you guys?

I was allergic to the steri-strip adhesives and my Water blisters pressed the strips right off my body. Who knew?

Hope yours come off soon!

I had 1 that lasted about 5 or 6 weeks the rest came off before that

I'm 4 weeks out today and I have one that is hanging on! The rest have all come off... I figure when it's ready to come off it will!!

I sure hope so. Only one has come off!

The NP @ my 2 week appointment took them off of me. I was kind of wishing she hadn't at the time- my incisions were not fun to look at. They weren't infected or anything- just looked ugly and painful. Especially the ones that looked more like "holes". Yuck! She wanted me to keep them covered with gauze most of the time, but I kept them uncovered at all times- they healed fine.

i peeled mine off after about a week. One of them came off at the hospital! That was on one of the smallest incisions, and the doctor wasn't concerned at all.

Mine didn't last over a week, but my incisions were glued and looked great by then.

Mine lasted about three days. My PCP put more on because two on the incisions weren't glued but the new ones lasted a day. They just didn't like me lol.

I was sleeved on the 4th and out of 6 incisions only 2 fell off. I'm glad you posted this cause I thought it was the only one going through this.

My Dr. told me I could take them off in the shower after my two week post op appt.

Mine came off two days after being home.

I had to take them off the day before my 2 week post op check with the surgeon as he wanted to make sure the wounds were fully healed. I was advised by him to take them off in the shower under the running water. Good in theory, it didn't hurt, but I did wake up on the floor of my bathroom with the Steri strip in my hand, a pretty neat little scar on my belly and a mild concussion. For the remaining 4 incisions I took the strips off while lying flat on the bed and I didn't get up for about 15 minutes.

Lol...i took mine off 6 days post op. The doctor said that was fine.

i think every persons different. I had 1 of mine last a little over 3 weeks. i still have spots from the glue on my stomach! Good luck they will come off.

The PA at my 2 week check up removed mine.
