Sorry... It has surfaced to the skin at one of my incision sites. I'm 5 weeks out. Anyone else had this??? I remember having his after my Tummy Tuck years ago but they were clear... And I could gently pull them out. This one is purple and is stuck and wont come out. Any advice????

Don't pull it! Yes, it happened on all mine.

Dr. said just wait til it falls off on its own...some took 3 weeks after they surfaced.

You can trim them but do not pull

No, they are not the staples from your stomache. Those are permanent and attatched to our stomaches inside our bodies.

These are dissolvable sutures at the incision sites.

I have the sane issue and also had if with my gallbladder removal several years ago. Surgeon just said what everyone else has posted. Trim it with a sanitized nail clipper but don't pull on it.

I had my GP snip mine off. It healed up well after that........then I had another poke out just above the scar. After a good soak in the bath it came out completely.

I had the same thing happen to me at my 6 week appointment. It came through on my largest incision and to be honest, since it took so long for that one to heal, I thought it was just a little bit of scab that was hanging on. The doctor just grabbed the end of it, pulled it up a little and snipped it off. All seems well now!

Nope. They are sutures from the incisions. No big deal.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
