When do the Lap band Surgical Strips come off?

[Shellie2011 2]

Shellie, it sounds like your surgeon used durabond. It is a glue. I believe that it will also eventually fall off for you just like the steristrips I have. I have 5 incisions. Mine are not terribly itchy yet. But my port site stings every once in awhile.

Thanks MamaMary. I figured it would hold but was curious. Mine with the port site is still pretty sore but bearable. Although, I sneezed earlier and omgosh It hurt! Thanx again for the info and good luck on your weight loss

Thanx for your post Lanie. I have 5 incisions. Mine range in size as well from about an inch to about 3 1/2 inches which I was surprised by...... Mine only had a dark looking glue over them though and no strips. We were told not to shower for 4 days post op so we didn't wash the glue off! Idk I've had several abdominal surgeries and that was a first for me.

I don't have any strips either. Just glue like stuff on top. They are still pretty painful and range from about 1/2 inch to 3 1/2 inches. I have a total of 5.
