Anyone Have A Stitch At The End Of Their Incision Poking Out?

[Sherri297 81]

I was sleeved in TJ on 10/9 by Dr. Lopez. Hopefully someone can help me. All of my incisions except drain hole were glued shut. Now that the glue is wearing off, I have stitch ends poking out of 2 incisions at the end. Does anyone know if these are ment to disolve? To me it doesn't appear that they should be outside of the skin but more like interior sutchers. Do I stretch them out and cut them off?

I had a couple poking out my biggest incision at my month check up. The PA just clipped them off against my skin. I don't think she was going to do anything because she said they were internal stitches that would dissolve, but I told her I so wanted to pull them out. I think that kinda freaked her out and she clipped them off flush with my skin. I'm now at 8 weeks and they have not poked back through.

I had something like that from my c-section and I just ignored it...it went away eventually -

Thanks guys, I'll just cut them off.

I had one and the nurse just clipped it off at my 1 month appt.

Dr. Ortiz told me that they might appear and I could simply trim them. It's all normal.

Me too! They told me to snip it with fingernail clippers. Just the tiny little end. It worked!!!
