Gallbladder incisions when can i take the bandages off?

Ask your surgeon: You would have been given postoperative instructions after surgery. Depends on what bandages were used. Do not get gauze bandages wet. Some surgical tapes or glue are meant to stay on a week. Ask your surgeon what to do for your specific situation.
