Having to delay return to work as 2 of my incisions have opened after the stitches were removed really wanted to only have 2 weeks off but need hopefully one more week. Anyone else had incision problems.

I didn't realize they actually used stitches. I didn't have any, and my wounds were covered with steri strips.

no stitches either, just steri strips. I thought it was a pretty big cut (port cut) for no stitches.

No stitches, mine were glued! lol

I had internal stitches, glued on the outside, then covered with that medical tape that comes off after about 10 days.

I was glued too.... but by now it doesnt look sealed anymore, looks like the clue wants to come off. I aint ready for it to go just yet :huh: .....lol

Mine were glued:)

I had staples and tape.

I had disolvable stiches and the strips.One of my incisions opened up. It is only a small hole that is draining but its healing really well. Thank goodness it wasnt where the port is.
