A member asked:

Had gall bladder surgery 18 days ago. doctor at post opt visit told me to now peel dermabond off. wounds look fine. i am nervous. will it hurt?

No: Pulling the Dermabond off should not hurt. If you are worried let it soak on some warm soapy water and it should come off pretty easily after 18 days.

No: Nay, you will be fine. Peel is off gently and slowly but it shouldn't hurt.

Not for long.: be thankful that you're healing. The anticipation of this kind of pain is always worse than the actual pain itself. good luck with your healing process.
