usmcwife Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 How long did it take for this glue to come off of your incisions??? Mine is starting to flake off of the big incision and I don't want to catch it on my clothes and rip it off but I don't want to take it off myself either...I can't wait for it to come off though.

Dontondan Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 My glue came off after about a week, some of them took about 2 weeks, but it started peeling prior to that. If you are worried about it catching on clothing you can put a small bandaid on it for a few more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat2nrml Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I clipped mine off with nail clippers when it was lifting off. I didn't pick or pull at it [i'm not a scab picker either] but when it was lifted away from my skin I'd clip it so it wouldn't catch on my clothes. Mine took about 3 weeks total to come completely off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat2nrml Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think that's the Betadine [?] that orangey-brown germ killing stuff. It does stain pretty bad and stuck with me for a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela HI Angela: My glue is soooo gross and I am trying not to pick at it. It's like little balls of buggers on my belly......gross!! I saw your post and thought about you and your great parents. I'm doing great and have lost 10 pounds in the week since we were banded on 6/4/08. Today I was sort of reliving that day and I thank you and your family for the support. I am sorry we didn't meet up after we were back at the hotel but I was feeling so good I went back that night and then changed my plane ticket to go back 1 day earlier, actually the next day after surgery. Tell your mom and dad hello and I hope your dad espec ially is hanging in there. Ask him if he got his V and V and he'll laugh!!!!Take care and hope to hear from you Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccermom Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Speaking of bath...I want this glue off because my tummy looks like I have a layer of dirt on it...haha!! It's gross!! One of the small ones came off in a week, but the glue also on my large incision started coming off. I think it took longer to heal because it came off to soon.

Painter Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm with Kimra, took about three weeks. I was frustrated too because it seems to pick up any little bit of dust and looks like you haven't bathed in ages. Not to worry it will eventually go away. I finally rubbed gently with a towel after a shower to get the last of it off. Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy in MD Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I am almost at 3 weeks and still have glue. I don't know how much or if it is flaking because I am afraid to touch my incisions. I AM SUCH A WIMP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
