Is it normal for surgical incision to have a pink border 2wks post op? 7in lower abdominal, steri strips after staples. no other signs of infection.

Possibly.: What you describe may be related to a reaction to the steri strips ( adhesive) after removal of the tape. Clinical evaluation (your surgeon) will be necessary to provide you with definitive advice and/or reassurance. Best wishes.
