Sarahemma94 29 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm 9 days post op, I've lost 24lbs (including my pre op 2 week diet) and feeling great. I'm a bit concerned about the glue on my incisions starting to peel off? Is it too soon? I've noticed after I shower a little bit comes off around the edges each time and I want to shower today but worried about all of the glue coming off... When did your glue start to flake off? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jen_1381 446 Posted August 21, 2012 I actually picked mine off after about a week. I could tell my incisions were closed, and the glue was super itchey so I scrubbed and peeled it off. 1 scorrea reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clarks4willie 153 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm 6 days out and still have little bits. Super itchy , but itchy is a sign of healing. Doc said LEAVE IT BE! And I have. I shower every day and it's almost gone. I've healed wonderfully so far:) good luck to u!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missmudd 17 Posted August 21, 2012 Mine were stuck on good for about 10 days, which is also how long the dissolving stitches last. I think you're okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justathing2me 146 Posted August 21, 2012 I think mine started coming off the second week too. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and all the glue is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
