Just had surgery on Wednesday and the glue is already starting to lift around the sides! Is that normal? The nurse at the hospital told me it would take a couple of weeks for it all to fall off.

Oh ok.. So maybe it's normal lol. I'm just so paranoid. We went to a family event today and I walked a couple of miles too. I thought I over did it and they started to peel from moving around so much today.

The glue started pealing on the small incisions within a few days. The glue on the big incision held for a week. I think that's normal. Don't pick at it. You don't want an infection.

I've had that with other surgeries & it will come off when ready. If your concerned look for signs of infection & call the Dr. I wish I had that, I've got staples. I had mine on 7/2 & they don't come out till 7/11 at my post op appt but they itch like crazy since its starting to heal now.

It Comes off pretty quick. A couple days on small ones. About a week on big.

I'm 4 wks out & mine are just now falling off.

Normal, entirely normal!

The edges that peeled up I cut off carefully with small cuticle scissors. By my 2 week check up I only had a small part left on 1 incision and the Dr said you can remove that last piece when you shower tomorrow.

Ok good. I put bandages over them last night because I was freakin out that they weren't ready to come off yet lol.
