    The nurse takes them off at the one week appointment
    Don’t pull your dressings off covering your stitches!

    Hiya hun, phone them and see if they can get you in sooner. My op is on Sunday and have booked my post op for the Saturday 6 days later as they’re not open Sunday x

    Some surgeons don’t use strapping at all. I know it is horrendous but I would try and wait until you see the nurse – or at the least ring and ask the nurse for advice. The thing is that if you take the strapping off yourself and your incisions aren’t dry/healing quickly then you need a new dressing over your stitches which you won’t be able to do at home x
