Good luck..how all is well

So I hop out of the shower, putting lotion on as usual and rub vitamin e on incisions. I have this one that bugs me cuz there is still a scab. I'm not into pulling scabs off. Come to find out, it isn't a scab. I pulled and it is a suture line I pulled out just enough to see what it was. Eew!!! I guess I'll call the Dr to see what to do about it.

I had the EXACT same thing happen yesterday except the "scab" kept pulling on my clothes. When I realized it wasn't going anywhere I got my manicure scissors (brand new), alcoholed them up, then cut it back so it doesn't tug anymore. I hope that's enough til I hear from my surgeon. Good luck at your apt today Gen!

I had to have nurse practitioner at surgeon's office snip it off. It's dissolvable but your clothes are going to keep rubbing it and irritate incision. They may need to do same.

Good luck at at doctor today!!

Thinking of you today. I hope your appointment goes well :)

Praying for you today, Gen.

And I have a suture poking out of every incision but one. They bug the crap out of me.

I had this as well and my post op the doctor clipped it so it didnt stick out, it didnt hurt.

I looked at Lactaid Milk, but it has 12 grams sugar per serving. I was told that I should have no more than 6 grams per serving. I am worried about dumping if I change to Lactaid Milk.
