Tape strips?

How long did it take for your tape over the incisions to fall off? I thought they told me 10 to 14 days but I'm on day 14 and these suckers don't look anywhere lose to coming off.

This for me, exactly.

I'm 10 days and mine are still there but edges are coming up a bit. I went yo my post op appt and my dr. just looked at them but didn't take the bandages off. He said just let them fall off.

My first post op was at 7 days. Same as others I was told they'd come off at 10-14 days. I helped them after 10, but nothing to aggressive. Healed well at that point and I was ready for them to be gone!!! I had a drain that was about a week behind the other incisions.
