Liquid Band-Aid

I had the sleeve procedure on June 10th and my liquid bandage is start to come off and expose the cut. It looks healed on the outside. Should I put more liquid bandage on it? My post-op appointment is Tuesday.

Do what you feel you need to do if you're unable to reach your doctor over the weekend. Personally, I didn't have liquid bandages - I had steristrips. 4 of the 6 had come off prior to my 6-day post-op visit with my doctor and he peeled the remaining steristrips off that day. As long as the wound has closed, it should be fine without anything holding it together at this point.

Okay thanks! Everything is still closed, so I will just wait.

I had liquid bandaid on my incisions. It will start to fall off, peel off, etc. Try not to let shower water run over it for a long period of time, it makes it come off faster. I wouldn't say put more on, unless it starts to look like it's opening up - but in that situation I'd call my doctor first anyways, because you don't want to SEAL an infection in!! I really wanted to peel the crap off too LOL but I made myself leave it alone and all was well.

by liquid bandaid do you mean skin glue on top? My small ones came off 5-7 days after surgery but it took over 2 weeks for the big one to peel off.

One of my small incisions has the skin glue completely lifted and the glue is starting to lift from my big incision. The others are well intact.

As long as the incision is sealed it should be ok.

I had surgical glue (purple -my favorite color lol!) and my surgeon said it would come off eventually on its own, but not to help it along. It took about 2 1/2 weeks and now the scars are starting to fade. Two are invisible already. :)
