Has anyone every had their stetches break loose around the port? Mine have and I had surgery on June 7th. The doc didn't seem to worried he just put me on antibotics and let me go. The port was a bit swollen and a little red. I could actually feel the stitches break, weird. Should I be concerned? Please help :help:

My stitches are absorbable, so I know nothing about pulled stitches, but would think with surgery in June your stitches would be pretty well healed. Hope you are feeling better.

My stitches broke and came out. I think it depends on what kind they used and how your body reacts to them. If your doc didn't seem worried then I'd say you're probably OK. I know...it's weird though! Good luck!

Well I'm going for a fill on Monday (2) fill I hope this does it as far as hitting that sweet spot. Also I feel like if he can hit the port I'll be okay as far as the stitches breaking loose. Thanks you guys for your knowledge and support.:nervous

I only had two stitches place in a port that should have had four and one of them broke. My port now has dropped and sits side ways I now can only have fills under floro because it is so deep and turned. No problems filling it under floro. Good Luck
