    Hi girlies i went to the hosp 1 week after my op and they put steri strips on i cant remeber when she said they can come off or when i can have a bath properly?
    i took them off yesterday and bought some new ones and put them back on the same as they was as i was scared.

    hello i had to have them put back on for another week when i had my post op (so two weeks after my op) but my nurse gave me loads more and said to keep putting it on for a further 2 weeks to flatten the scars and just take it off when i have a bath/shower then re-apply fresh dressing xx
