Most of my incisions were just glued, no stiches. But the big one in my belly button had a few stitches, and then glue. I am 2 weeks and 2 days post op, and the glue has fallen off of all the incisions. They are all healed over, and fine. But the one in my belly button has the string from the stitch with the end hanging out in a big knot. It's at the top of my belly button, so it rubs against any pants that I wear and hurts. Can I cut the end of the knot off? I don't want to "unravel" the stitches, but the incision is completely healed and closed. I thought it would be a dissolvable stitch, but it hasn't dissolved so far, when you pull on it, its stuck in there.
