Same here...was told they'd fall off or my surgeon would remove at my 2 week post op apt. I'm 4 days out too.

Hello! I had my surgery on 6/6 and so far 3 of the 4 bandages fell off.. Well, not completely "fell off" but barely hanging in and I took them the rest of the way off.

I was the opposite.. Mine barely moved and the were looking so yucky, after about 10 days, I took off and put on bandaid waterproof with their neosporin like on the bandaid. Omg, those suckers were so stuck to my skin, my belly has more marks from that than my incisions! Lol..

My doctor said they could come off after 2 days. They get wet when you shower and it's worse to have wet bandages than no bandages. I personally thought it was better to let air get to the area. The steri strips will come off when they want to. I got a terrible allergic reaction rash to the strips at 10 days post op. I was told to take off the strips at 2 weeks so the rash would heal. My incisions were just fine.
