glue instead of stitches

[jess187 0]

ive read a lot about people having to bandage up their incisions but i dont have that my doctor glued mine i was wondering if anyone else had this done? it looks like crazy glue and its supposed to heal better so has anyone had it done this way?

i also had the glue (dermabond). i think it was great. i could shower right away and the healing time was shorter

My surgery date isn't until June 16th, however, I had laproscopic surgery last year for a ovarian cyst that hemorrhaged. They used the glue instead of stitches - thankfully as I tend to have a problem with stitches, my skin rejects them. I healed wonderfully and I really liked the glue.

I was glued. stiches inside and glued outside. I was allowed to shower the next day. Loved it!

My incisions were glued......they healed very nicely.

It did seem like it took forever for it all to come off.....good thing I didn't have a swimsuit photo shoot scheduled....HAHAHAHAHA!

I was glued also. I healed great and was able to shower earlier than w/ out the glue. I still had stitches, but you could not see them.

Yes here on the glue--looked a lil' scary right after surgery (i called it my Franken-belly)--but no worries on bandages. Resist the urge to pick at the glue!

I am stitched on the inside and glued on the outside. I was able to shower the day after surgery. Thes incisions are much better than those from my gallbladder which are all puckered and gross. The scars from the lap band surgery and already flush with the skin and seamless.

I also had the glue and it is healing wonderfully.. Like the previous writer my gall bladder scares are still visible but these are going to be hardly noticeable (LATER)

I had glue also.. and it is so crazy because 3 of them are almost completely gone.... i still have a greese burn on my stomach when i cooked bacon in my bra....lol( when i use to eat pork... about 7-yrs ago...) that is darker than the little cut's on my stomach..

my bandages fell off (each different times) but it was anywhere between 10-14 days. healing was very easy. hope you have the quick speedy recovery I have.

I also had my incisions glued without any problems thus far.
