What are those little tape strips called?



Recommended Posts

I have a wound that is separating a.little as it heals. I am using bandaids but what are the little strips that keep scars from widening?

Do you mean the Steri-strips that they apply across the sutured incision?

In the old days we called them butterflies, but yes, steri strips.

I was gonna say butterflies but I think they are called steri-strips now. they used them on my port incision when I had my band done. they said don't pull them off they will fall off when ready.

      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! 😞
