I had my appendix removed on Wednesday night at around 10pm and got out the next day they said I could take off my white bandages over my insicions, I got two of them off another have a little tape like thing over my incision that's really stuck to my skin but my bottom left one is coming off with the big bandaid is that supposed to happen? Cause the others didn't come off

Talk to your doctor about this.

My appointments not till Friday, should I see him sooner? It also doesn't feel like the other ones do either.

What were your instructions about bathing? If you are allowed (which I imagine you can by now), soak in a tub or shower and the bandage will come off. The tiny strips are holding the incision together, and they dissolve, but not right away.

The little strips over your incision are called steri-strips. They are designed to come off on their own over time. You don't take them off yourself.

I've been bathing normal now. But the other strips aren't coming off really at all and this one wants to come all off with the bandaid, so do I tell my doctor?

No need to tell your doctor. You can get it off with Baby Oil or anything similar.

So it's okay that the strip that's supposed to dissolve is just all coming off with the bandaid? I've also been getting weird pintching pains to the side of it like a nerve or something

Cut the bandaid until it's easy to soak off with water or baby oil.
If your incision isn't showing signs of new redness or swelling, or any oozing, you can expect little pains as you heal.

Steri-strips do not dissolve, they are designed to come off on their own, don't remove them.
