abdominal incisions
I am two weeks post op. Da Vinci Hesterectomy. I had 6 abdominal incisions closed with glue. How long does it take for the glue to fall off? Mine is starting to peel and is very itchy.

Re: abdominal incisions
Hi there, I'm 14 weeks post op after a Da Vinci also. My glue started to dissolve and wear off within the first couple of weeks. It started to peel away a little bit at a time after each shower. My naval glue spot just finally came off about 2 weeks ago. That was the most stubborn spot but I was in no hurry to pick it off I was kind of squeamish about the glue at first because I had this "fear" of opening up the incisions.
I found that baby oil on a cotton ball was helpful in clueing up the remains of the glue.
Continued healing to you!!

Re: abdominal incisions
Thanks. I started using vitamin e oil around the area. The belly button spot has already come off. The other areas are starting to peel around the incisions. Have you had any major issues since the surgery?

Re: abdominal incisions
I've had no major issues. I was very tired the first couple of months and going to the grocery store was a huge outing for me! Just remember to take it easy and slow down. When the doctor told me 10 weeks and no lifting anything over 10 pounds, he wasn't kidding! Now I'm just trying to navigate my way through HTR because the one ovary the doc left me with quit working.
Did you leave your ovaries? and if so, are you having any menopause symptoms? Mine are diminishing with the Pramarin and life is getting back to "normal"

Re: abdominal incisions
Both ovaries were left. No menopause symptoms yet! I'm still reminding myself to take it easy. I'm happy to hear that life is returning to normal. It's all about time.
