like most everyone else has said, LET IT COME OFF NATURALLY!  You don't want to risk opening an incision.  I know it pulls and looks really nasty/dirty but trust us on this! 

band to sleeve revision and loving life!

You do you, and I'll do me

Thanks guys!  If the incision looked raw and like it would bleed taking the glue bandage off, I wouldn't try at all, because I agree, obviously it's there for a purpose, but this is all the "extra" glue that was used around the wound that just built-up inside there.  Some of it has loosened, but some of it's thick and stuck, and isn't even on a cut.  I'll give it some more time to loosen on it's own though.  It would just be a lot more comfortable not to have all of that glue pulling on the one place I bend all the time.  Thanks for all of the suggestions!  :-)
