How long did it take for your tape over the incisions to fall off? I thought they told me 10 to 14 days but I'm on day 14 and these suckers don't look anywhere lose to coming off.

I'm 10 days and mine are still there but edges are coming up a bit. I went yo my post op appt and my dr. just looked at them but didn't take the bandages off. He said just let them fall off.

My first post op was at 7 days. Same as others I was told they'd come off at 10-14 days. I helped them after 10, but nothing to aggressive. Healed well at that point and I was ready for them to be gone!!! I had a drain that was about a week behind the other incisions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
