I just had my Gallbladder removed on Wed.
I just had my Gallbladder removed on Wed so three days ago. I was able to take all the dressings off today ( as the doctor told me to.) but now the tape they used to hold the insisions together is starting to come off and I am a little worried. Does anyone know how long this tape stays on for or when it should come off? Also when will I start to feel better, I have been really sleepy lately and every time I eat I feel sick. Will this go away soon or am I going to be in discomfort for much longer? Thanks in advance
LEAVE the tape until it completely falls off on its own ... It may take a while, mine was almost all the way off and i pulled it and when i went to the followup the dr could tell and put a brand new piece on it (after he yelled at me)
It stays from 1 second to 20 months
It should come off when the wound is healed or ask or perform more tape
It's normal to feel some discomfort, however check with a expert-doctor if worsen.
