When do I get to take the rest of the steri strips off? They're so itchy!

If Steri-Strips are used to close or support an incision then they should fall off in about a week or so. If they are still in place after 10 days, usually it is safe to be removed by the patient, unless the healthcare provider has said not to, as some wounds might need more time to heal properly.

You don’t take them off. They will all fall off this week on their own. I’m from the south and believe in the power of Vaseline so I was putting a layer on my incisions from day one and all five of my steristrips fell off in a couple of days and incisions were completely closed before my first post-op appt. my surgeon was so impressed with her surgical skills. I didn’t want to burst her bubble so I didn’t tell her the rapid healing was mostly due to my mother’s old wives remedy of Vaseline. 😬

Why do you both have an incision above your belly button? Just curious because I only have the five in a straight line below my belly button. My daughter had RNY and she only has five incisions in the same straight line.

I wear a tank top under my shirt. It soaks up the Vaseline and also gives the incisions some extra protection from the waistband on pants. Washes right out of the tank tops. I have one tank top for each day.

Wow!! Looks real good for 1 week PO. And your side by side - already what a difference!! I am still very bruised (robot-assisted RNY 1/28). Mine is ugly as I've had multiple abdominal surgeries, laparoscopic and full open, so they had to pick and choose where they made their incisions. Might be the robot side that's so bruised, but don't know. Best wishes to you and happy healing!!

Mine has glue- no Vaseline to worry about.

Thanks! I’ve had my appendix out, 2 c-sections, and a hernia surgery. What hurts the most is all the scar tissue the surgeon cut out from previous surgeries.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
