mrsluckyvega 21 Posted February 19, 2013 Today I feel great my abdominal muscles feel good, only concern is regarding my incisions the water-proof band aid tape is getting wet so the gauze is wet can I replace with my own or should I let them get wet when I shower or peel em' off? Thanks my fellow Bandsters!. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and cflick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ireallywannabthin 286 Posted February 19, 2013 I love this post title!! I'm so happy you're feeling good!! That first time you feel so good is amazing!! As far as your gauze and tape, I'd say change it or remove them (as my doctor told me if they got wet) because you don't want your incisions to be sitting there with a moist gauze (but I'm not a medical professional, this is just my opinion) If you're concerned, give your doctor a call, it can't hurt to be sure. Best of luck and I hope your days get brighter and brighter, Rocky 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted February 19, 2013 My Dr said once the bandages fall off there is no need for them. Check with yours to see what he advises. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaness2012 609 Posted February 19, 2013 My doc said the same thing....let them fall off on their own and then there is no need to replace them. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
