I'm 100% now 1 week out. No Draining, No vomiting,  No pain, Eating pureed, feeling mostly perfect still wearing my binder tho.

I have glued incisions that never drained or anything and I think they are healed up so I'm wondering what do I do? Let the Dr take off the glue?  or take it off myself?
Not sure if there is something he has to use to take the glue off or if I do it myself and if I do it, with what.

Anyone have suggestions.

i think it just naturally falls off. the doctor doesn't have to do anything.

Mine just fell off on it's on, usually after I took a shower. There were a few "hanging" pieces that I may or may not have helped fall off though lol.

How long after your surgery?  I'm already a week out and they aren't even peeling.

I was probably 2 weeks or so out before it really started coming off.

I know that what ever hadn't fallen off by my two week appt, the surgeon took off.  No big deal, I'd leave them be.

I was afraid to pull mine off - I knew if I did it would either be a nightmare and start draining (silly fears!) or I would start scratching because they ITCHED and the tape was a reminder to LEAVE THEM ALONE.... :)

The doctor pulled all of mine off at my 10 day post op appointment and it did not hurt it at all - he just pulled gently... but they were not even slightly ready to come off on their own!  (if only band aids worked like that in water!)

if your doc wants you to have one he will prescribe it.
