Micah87 44 Posted November 21, 2012 I had my surgery last Tuesday and mine are still holding strong. Even the one right under my bra (leave it to a man to put an incision right there!). 2 UTGal99 and pedsnurse120304 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vidalia 122 Posted November 21, 2012 I am 11 days post-op and I peeled all of mine off today because they were barely on, except for my biggest incision. I am not touching that one because it is still tender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
austinlakelady 5 Posted November 21, 2012 @4everhopeful I thought the EXACT same thing!!! Genius. And inside my fold where the 2 sets of staples rubbed together. Planning people! Sent from Lake Travis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pedsnurse120304 19 Posted November 23, 2012 I am a nurse. We tell our post op patients that the steri steps usually fall off about 7-10 days. My surgeon took them off on day 5. Way to early. The incisions are so tender still.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
