Was banded on 5/24/12 and have been doing great but about a week ago I noticed the corner of my large incision had a funny bump and it was shiny so I figured it to be a stitch but last night I was itching around the incision and the whole top of a stitch popped up and now has a longer thread to it. It doesn't hurt and isn't infected. I was told once the inside part dissolves it should just pull off. I have an appointment in July to see the doctor because he is only at my office every two weeks. I watch to make sure there's no pain or redness. Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes, two of them. They do fall off but in the meantime they're a little annoying because it's like having a sharpie on your tummy.

I had this too i just cut off the bit that was sticking out .. i am an ex nurse tho, if u are concerned to do it yourself just pop in to the doctors and see the practise nurse she can do this for you, its a common thing with any surgery

Thank you for your replies it was worrying me.
