@sarahjeann98, my Drs never removed mine and I just removed it when it started to peel off.

they recommend leaving steri strips on until they start to peel/come loose. I left mine on for a little ever a month after my gallbladder removal.

I had tape put on mine but I'm not sure if it was called that? My doctor ripped it off at my 2 week checkup

@mamabee, thanks that makes me feel a lot better I'm 9 days pp and feel like leaving them on for at least a week or so before i try to mess with them.

I left mine on for 6 weeks! I wasn't sure either when to remove them but I finally just tore it off.
