yesterday i almost fainted thanks to surgical tape.
the surgical tape from the february 11th surgery stayed on for over a month. i liked having it there. i felt protected. i didn't really have to look at the new scar. but it finally started to come off yesterday...and i decided to pull it all off. which, of course, lead to light-headedness. i've noticed i do a good job of not breathing when things stress me out. and that's what happened yesterday.
but. in the end. i didn't faint. and my incision doesn't bother me - physically or emotionally.
what IS bothering me, though, is the surgical tape residue. how do i get this stickiness off??
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Rick says WD-40 takes everything off.
Good luck? :-}
I read plain old rubbing alcohol works best, or those alcohol pads. If you want something more natural,try eucalyptus oil--apply with cotton ball or q-tip:)
Good luck!!!
My next door neighbor successfully used vick's vapor rub and baby oil. Hope you remove it and moisturize the area...you are my hero!!!
I know peanut butter takes off bubble gum wonder if it takes off sticky stuff..
