I had a great experience with glue. My 4 tiny incisions are nearly invisible. I know that if you have an allergic reaction to the glue it can be a mess. I would guess that steri strips are another option, but I would never want anything other than glue. It's amazing stuff.

Are you asking about the glue on the outside or the glue they can use on the stomach itself? I am asking to have the glue and the staples or sutures, however they do it, because I hear you have less chance of a leak

I had glue on the outside of all 5 of my incisions. Love the glue because previously I've had staples/stitches and I HATE when they have to take those out. I'm four weeks out today (YAY!!) and I still have glue on one incision but it's starting to flake off finally.

Your MD will decide based on you and his/her preferences. Both work fine. I had glue.

I have staples on my sleeve and had dissolvable stitches right underneath my skin and glue on top of the skin. I asked for the glue because I'm allergic to surgical tape. I was very pleased with my decision. The scars are very small and almost unnoticeable. Staples on the outside scared me because I didn't want them yanking them out while I was awake. They'd have to put me under again. LOL!

Glue for me and it was great. The scars are minimal ever after only 5 weeks.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
