I love the omnipod. Not having to worry about wires, swimming, bathing, it is fantastic..until it is time to change it. The adhesive is so strong that it rips my skin off. I have to treat it with triple antibiotic and non stick pads just to tolerate it. I am talking ripping my skin off and bleeding..not just a little irritation. july 4th I had to sit with my hand down my pants to hold the material away from my sores so that it wouldnt hurt so bad...not to mention the incredible fool I felt like . I am told there is some sort of pad you can put under it but I havent found any information. I now use vaseline on my fingertips and very gently peel it back, but even at that it takes me 1/2 hr to 45 min to get it off, but it does help a little. the spot on my arm is still not healed after 2 weeks. Any suggestions? also, I have seen some people say they change the pod every week,. I am told no more than 2 days. I have lung disease and therefore on prednizone often so sure would like to know about the one that can stay on for 7 days. thanks all. Maureen
