[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How and when did you do it? I am afraid it will require a lot of pressure to remove adhesive stickiness and this will result in pain. I am also afraid to look at it - I would like to pretend the surgery did not happen -I have enough tummy bulge that I could live my life and never see that part of my body again. And I'm fine with that. Looking at the incision would be too emotional - and maybe would be too Icky, skeevy. Thinking about trying to clean this makes me cry. Am I the only one?[/quote] [b]Do NOT REMOVE the steristrips. They will peel off on their own. Let warm soapy water run over them in the shower, then promptly pat them dry once out of the water[/b].[/quote] I was told that if they hadn't fallen off by day 6 to gently peel them off. Leave them on too long, [b]your skin will start growing over them[/b]. For some they never fall off...[/quote] This is by far the silliest thing I've ever heard of. OP, if this wasn't clear during your discharge instructions from the hospital, call your OB's office for guidance.[/quote]
