I was told to leave them alone and let them fall off.

Big Cat got a reaction from turtlebay_8 in Incision tape removal
My wife is an RN and had the sleeve done last Aug. We didn't remember her time frame, but we know they did fall off on their own. She's 112lbs. Down BTW.

@@meSparkle83, I don't want to be premature on the removal, so may just wait. @@liannatx, I may just wait until that same time frame. Thanks for responding
Thanks MissMac. I'm definitely not looking to do this ahead of time.

Doc said to keep them on for at least a week and if they came off before that to cover with a bandaid.

meSparkle83.....one of my best friends is a nurse and she fussed at me something bad tonight when I asked her if I could take a bath. She told me that if I new how many bacteria's are floating around in our tub, I would never ask that question. She made me promise NOT to take a bath for another two weeks. She said that even though the wounds look like they are closing, flesh eating bacteria can enter these sites. Well.......that was enough for me!

My doc said to let them fall off on their own...I think it was about 10 days for off them to come off.

I was told to leave them on until they fall off and if any were left on at my 2 week post op appointment the surgeon would remove them.

Almost three weeks for me. They came off by themselves.

I left them on until the started falling off! I was so afraid to peel them off, lol, I really did leave them until the edges were curling up and they were barely adhered. It was about 2 weeks. When one fell off in the shower I took the rest off.

I just removed mine 2 nights ago and I'm almost 3 weeks out.
I had the bypass so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
I wish I would of waited to take off my bandage on my larger incision.

Big Cat got a reaction from Quest4TheNewMe in I'm scared I'll be saggy....
Let's do this Big Opie. You know, I was a police officer and injured at the WTC on 9/11 and by two drunks in the line of duty. I ended up a wheel chair and had to get my lower extremities all repaired. I use to run half marathons and work out at 220lbs. In 9 years, I haven't been able to work out any more due to my injuries and gained 100 lbs.
Im getting my surgery tomorrow 4/30. Today, I was so hesitant and bummed out about being the last day. But it is the last day of the old me. I'm totally pumped to lay my head down and get this done. Get healthy, get your meds and get motivated girl. Woooooooooooooooooooooo. I sound like Richard Simmons. lol

Big Cat reacted to NewMrsSmith in Surgery in 3 hours
Thank you! Just stay positive! I was really worried the couple days before going in but I have bounced back really well. I am back to work but fortunate enough to have a sit down job. Hardest thing for me is focusing on liquid diet. Just get bored with options so must try different things to keep you going! I go Wednesday to hopefully be okay to do purée diet but I heard every doctor is different on how long of stages of diet. Good luck to you! Hope to hear from you soon on progression!
