Sara75 8 Posted May 28, 2012 When did yours come off? I have one or two that are sort of hanging from the incision site. Should I just yank them off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubsteppsycho 13 Posted May 28, 2012 banded wednesday, still have all mine, but some are partially on, my surgeons office said they will just "fall off" when they are ready, so i figure either he will remove them when i see him tuesday or once they get to the point of barely being held on ill just remove them my self.

RedDirtRN 8 Posted June 2, 2012 If doc doesn't remove they will slowly loosen on the ends. If they start to peel up just clip the ends so it doesn't get caught on things. They stay on about a week or so on average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackie's girl 32 Posted June 3, 2012 When mine stared falling off, I removed them when they were hanging off. I had to go cvs and buy the strips because two of my incisions were not healed up. One had not even started to heal properly, the skin was still pink and open. I still have them on my big incision and, have replaced them several times because mine got filthy and start peeling.
