I am 3 weeks out and my glue is just not starting to fall off. Everything seems fine. Both my post op appointments got the OK on my incisions. They bother me a little because my pants rub them when I sit down. Otherwise, I think they heal when the scab falls off and they look like a scar. I am pretty sure it is different for everyone but it sounds like you are doing fine.

Redness, swelling, hot to the touch, oozing, dark, bleeding - those might be signs to call the Dr. Itchy is normal though.

I am 6 weeks out and one of mine is still not healed.  Everything was going great until week 4 and my scab fell off.  Then the incision busted back open and had drainage.  Now, I can tell it is healing from the inside out, but it is taking forever since there is no glue there anymore to keep it closed.  The surgeon took a look @ it during week 4 and said it just had to heal on its own.

Mine were red and itchy for a long time - probably six weeks or more. Then maybe 4 weeks later two of them re-opened with pin-***** sized holes but closed back up in a week. I still have a very, very faint bruise-like ring around the largest incision and I am 5 monthes out.
