Dermabond falling off already?



Recommended Posts

Just had surgery on Wednesday and the glue is already starting to lift around the sides! Is that normal? The nurse at the hospital told me it would take a couple of weeks for it all to fall off.

Oh ok.. So maybe it's normal lol. I'm just so paranoid. We went to a family event today and I walked a couple of miles too. I thought I over did it and they started to peel from moving around so much today.

The glue started pealing on the small incisions within a few days. The glue on the big incision held for a week. I think that's normal. Don't pick at it. You don't want an infection.

I've had that with other surgeries & it will come off when ready. If your concerned look for signs of infection & call the Dr. I wish I had that, I've got staples. I had mine on 7/2 & they don't come out till 7/11 at my post op appt but they itch like crazy since its starting to heal now.

The edges that peeled up I cut off carefully with small cuticle scissors. By my 2 week check up I only had a small part left on 1 incision and the Dr said you can remove that last piece when you shower tomorrow.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
