I'll be 3 weeks post OP tomorrow and my incision glue is still on. I've tag it should only stay like a week. Should I do something to take it off at this point? It is starting to peel at the edges a little.

My surgeon told me once I’m two weeks post op to just put a little Vaseline on the incision sites and it will slowly soften the glue.

Yes I had that also just let it be it will come off in it’s own don’t bother it keep using the anti bacterial soap on it and you should be fine

Did you loose the 31 lbs since surgery ?

What do you mean? I've lost 26 since surgery.

Ok that is fantastic, yes that’s what I was asking since your surgery

Thank you. How far out are you?

2 months

2 months

So what have you lost 2 months out? How is life at this point? Lol

I wiped mine with a wet wash cloth and then gently pulled it off at 3 weeks. Incision should be well closed by now.

I was told to just let it come off on its own. It took about four weeks.

It's normal for surgical glue or steri-strips to take more than a week. I think it took nearly a month for mine to be completely off!

Do not "pick" or "pull" at the frayed edges. Simply trim them with a pair of clean scissors (like cuticle scissors if you have them).

I had a surgery that used it this past summer - it stays around forever, and by “forever” I mean weeks. Just leave it until it drys up and flakes off naturally as you’re toweling off, getting dressed etc. At a certain point only little bits were left and I felt confident picking them off, but not the parts over the incision.
