How long...
How long after surgery did you leave the watertight bandages on. Mine was done Friday and the bandages are driving me crazy!! Do you think its safe to take them off?

My doctor wrote the date on my port bandage - 2 days after surgery for removal. the others I took off at day 4-5. The steri strips I removed a week after surgery. Hope that helps.

I took mine off about a week later. I couldn't stand them anymore. My incisions were fine and it let them heal faster.
