Mine were glued as well. It took about a week for them to start peeling off and I definitely helped with that :sad: I still had a few strays after 2 weeks but nothing I couldn't pick off. I don't have pics though! I have 3 incisions and 2 holes.

Mine were totally off before my 4 week post-op appt. and all but one were off by week 3 (have 5 incisions). Had a tiny end of a suture sticking out of me when the last one fell off (from an internal suture LOL...he just cut it off).

Mine were glued. Took a while for all the glue and scabbing to fall off. Maybe five weeks post op. Meanwhile, now I'm left with one nasty ugly looking scar right under my breasts and four little tiny incisions. I'm trying Mederma but I dont have much hope that they will ever look "good"

I had mine glued as well and they took way longer to heal. They seemed to start oozing (sorry tmi) after a week or so. It wasn't until the third week or more that they were finally almost healed. The scars are also bigger than most I have seen with staples. Much thicker. I am almost 6 months post op and they are still fat and purple. They are lightening up a bit.

My (five) incisions were glued as well. The glue was gone by two weeks, and yes I helped it along, the glue drove me crazy and I resisted picking at it as long as possible (a week, probably) My port scar is most noticeable, but all 5 are varying degrees of visible.

band_groupie so that's what's sticking out?? I have one too and I was wondering lol one of my "holes" scab came off with my shirt and I didn't want it to come off yet, it wasn't ready ): now there will be a nasty scar there but I guess I can always get a small tattoo there. Most of mine fell off half way two fell off fully and I'm gonna have to check those pix out

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
