When did your wound glue start to come off?

I'm one week post op and I see the glue is starting to deteriorate on a couple of my incisions. I can see the first coulple layes of skin at least are no longer connected by the glue. Is this ok or should I call my surgeon you think? Everything looks good so far, but the fear of infection or one of these things busting open is always in my mind.

I had two incisions like that. Nothing bad happened. Since I still have the surgical wash they gave me pre-surgery, I made sure to gently clean my abdomen area every day with it and put on a clean t-shirt each time.

The incisions healed wonderfully.

As long as you keep your incisions clean and covered, you should be fine. When in doubt, call your surgeon's office. That's what you pay them for. :-)

Thanks, Army, you rock. I'll do just that and call them tomorrow.

My glue is peeling too. My Dr told me at my appt that it was okay to start peeling it off.
