Incision tape removal

So how long after sleeve surgery did you remove the medical tape? Some of my incisions have a good amount of dried blood. Worried if I peel off, they will bleed. Only 3 days out. Just checking.

I have had a couple come off and my surgery was 2 weeks ago yesterday. Was told today I can go ahead when I take a shower to work them off. Just caution I would wait til your first one falls off just to make sure! How you doing?

Doing great!!! Tolerating everything and no pain. Very fortunate. 1 week out and moved to puree foods. Loving life once again. How 'bout yourself? Hanging in there?

Yes I now can have puréed foods and then gradually introduce foods. I bought this Syntex protein drink called Nectar which comes in different flavors that really helped me getting my protein in without the thickness of protein shake! Good to hear you are doing well!
