Mine were on one week -- surgery thurs 9/25, strips removed the following thurs, 10/2. I too have the "goiter" look. Doc said it was b/c of the reaction to the glue. Good luck!
I think mine were on for about 10-11 days.. The edges started lifting sooner but I left them on until it was apparent they were ready to go. That goes for both the ones I had where my thyroid used to be, AND the ones I had where my gallbladder was removed!
Awesome! Sooner then I thought! Soon to be free!!!! Thanks!
I was told to snip away the edges as they peel up. I did have to pull some off but the snipping made it easier. Within a week they were pretty much all off. .
My surgeon told me to take mine off after 10 days. However, they would have stayed on much longer, as they took much "persuasion" to get off.
