Blister at edge of steri strip
So everything's going resonably well 3 days post op LTVH, and then I notice some swelling at the steri stip on the left side. This is the side that gave me the most pain before pre op, and the incision site with the most pain post op, and has a lot of bruising. It always felt kind of wavy on the skin, like it was pulled way tight, and now there's two blister's right above the edge of the steri strip.
I'll call the clinic in the morning, but just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

Sounds like an allergy to the steri strip, and prob. won't get better til the strips are gone. Not sure that there are even any other kind of steri strip out there would help you out any. Sorry, I know it just adds to the discomfort you are already having.

Odd thing is, both sides (right and left of the abdomen) have steri strips, and it's only on the one side! And only at the top of the strips, not at the sides or bottom.

During surgery, they have a sterile covering stuck to your abdomen that they remove and then of course they use a betadine scrub that sits on you during the surgery. It could be any number of things. Also, they had a dressing over your incision initially, maybe it was the adhesive from that dressing? Just a few thoughts.
