Hey, this happened to me once. I hate that glue they use, at least with stitches you can guarantee they will do the job in hand.

I had to go to the GP surgery and the nurse put those butterfly stitches in and gave the wound a clean beforehand.

Hope you are recovering well xxx

I didn’t have this issue, I did shower and change dressing after. I’ve not much experience with lap wounds, only mine, but other wounds that leak I’d get it checked by a dr or very experienced nurse. There’s still a chance antibiotics could be needed. Your surgery shouldn’t palm you off again and see you today.
