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!.

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

My Dr said once the bandages fall off there is no need for them. Check with yours to see what he advises.

My doc said the same thing....let them fall off on their own and then there is no need to replace them.

Thank you guys I called dr.'s office they said to let it fall off and not to put bandages over them, but they also said not go get them wet when I shower, the whole plastic bag and tape still gets my incisions wet, Once again thanks my LB fam bam.
