It has been over two weeks since my surgery and I still have tape marks/film on my body I cannot get off no matter how much I scrub or pick off. Any suggestions?

The only one I can't get off is from the dang catheter. So.. Following this thread!

Go to a pharmacy and get adhedsive remover. If they do not have it call your doctor or local medical supply store.

This may sound crazy, but...Dawn dish soap? I only say that because it is gentle but effective.

what about baby oil and a cotton swab to scrub.

I tried baby oil, almond oil, alcohol, even Peanut Butter (I used that to get gum out of my kids hair when they were little).

Out of desperation at week three, I got some Goo Gone from my boyfriend's workshop and used that.....perfect.

I left mine on too long and got terrible rashes where the tape was :( I don't know why I didn't take them off sooner, lol.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
