Mine have been on for over 2 weeks, one fell off but the rest are just sort of hanging out there. Feels like a long, long time but don't know if I should do something about that.

I was told I could take mine off after a week. Did your surgeon say anything about them?

I was told to wait until they fell off but they look dirty and gross and it seems like they usually fall off sooner.

I was also told I could take mine off a week after, but if they started to look gross or peely, as soon as five days. I have a post-op appointment at the day 8 mark, where the surgeon will look at the incisions, i'm guessing she might take them off then.

Mine did the same thing. I think it was about 10 days and one or two fell off and the others were hanging. I waited until it looked like the incisions were well closed up and then helped the dangley ones off.

I took mine off (wet) after about six days. Donna

A couple of mine fell off after a week and a half. The others just stayed on. I peeled them off after two weeks if they looked like they were healed enough underneath. Though, my port incision didn't heal well with the seristrips still on for so long so the dr. told me to pull them off and the incision is healing much better with air getting to it.

Mine fell of after just a few days. My surgeon said that was perfectly fine. Basically I think they're there to keep germs out and they usually fall off when the skin is healed enough to protect itself. If they fall off and the skin isn't healed enough then a regular band aid will help protect the incisions.
