I was glued together too, and I love how it healed, compared to past surgeries with staples or stitches. The physician's assistant told me this morning that I could use nail polish remover to get the rest of the glue residue off.

Steri Strips anyone? They are like glue...lol

I had glue and steri-strips..

They used glue on me also, I actually wound up pulling most of the glue off .. it was peeling with out peeling. Does that make sense?? My incisions are healing beautifully and here in a few days (maybe a week or two just to make sure they are REALLY healed, call me extra cautious) I will be putting some stuff on to help with the scaring.
