  With DS I went in for my 3 week check up and they were still there. My doc actually took them off at that appt.

  I'm 2 weeks and 2 days and mine are still going strong, just at the top starting to come up a tad bit. I was wondering the same thing, though!

  Im two and a half weeks out and I've trimmed mine when they started loosening. Seems like they may be off in another week but wanted to make sure that wasnt too early.

  my doc also said at my one week appointment, "take those off in the shower tonight.  you don't need them anymore, now they are just bacteria collectors."

  My doctor just told me to let them fall off but it does make sense that they would be "bacteria collectors". I had stitches not staples but I'm assuming it doesn't make a difference..

  They said to take them off at 2 weeks, which will be tomorrow.

  I was told 7-10 days after having them put on. They've been off for 2 weeks now and I haven't had any issues.

  I've had them with all three c/s. The first two times, my doctor instructed
  me to remove them myself after two weeks. They'd started to lift at the edges so it was easy. This time, I had an incision check yesterday and my OB removed them herself because she discovered that I'd developed a severe allergic reaction to them. It itches sooooo bad. I'm using hydrocortisone cream a zillion times a day. My doctor told me I can't ever have steri strips again for any type of surgery now that I've shown a reaction to them.

  Mine came off after a couple days. And they put more on and they came off again a few days later at home.

  Mine came off (with some help from me - but they were loose) on day 12. Holy Moses did those things stink! They smelled like the antibiotics I had been on in the hospital - they permeated every inch of my being and I oozed their nasty scent from pores, in my urine and everywhere.
