Re: Bandages - When to take them off?

June 2, 2004

I started with Strivectin and Vitamin E oil as soon as the steri-strips

came off (at my 2 week check-up). I really try to focus on getting the

Strivectin on in the morning and the Vitamin E oil at night and the

scars are definitely fading.

I had my 1 week Dr. visit today (lap surgery last Tuesday) and she took the

bandages off today.
