californiabern 4 Posted May 28, 2016 No one said anything about it other than when I take a shower don't wash them just let the Water run over them etc. I'm wondering how often the bandages should be replaced and if I should use any alcohol to wipe them off? They said to put new bandages after I shower but I do that every other day at the moment. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930AZ using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Read2016 658 Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Alcohol would be very drying so don't think that a good idea... In the past I have heard of putting antibiotic ointment... I think this may also depend on how far post op are you... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited May 28, 2016 by nyteacher125 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted May 28, 2016 I had super glue on mine and was told not to put anything on them. Just follow whatever your instructions are. once the glue came off I use coconut oil on my skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lunarose 97 Posted May 28, 2016 I had steri strips and was told to let them fall off naturally and not wash them. To be safe you should check with your surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
