Incision gross pic

Before I say anything I am gonna call my doctor in the morning but just curious if anyone had this happen ?

I was sleeved 3/30 and my largest incision ( to my left of my belly button) hasn't been healing on one side ... It'd scab and fall off and rescab ect. Well I finally had a good look at it and there's a STRING coming out of my incision. I thought they would have used dissolvable. And it's just now poking out.. It wasn't there a couple weeks ago. (It only popped out after my last scab fell off but it's still attached to it ) pic for clarity post-267180-14629339369937_thumb.jpg

      I had the same issue but the stitch wasn't visible for over a month. It was a thick raised bump

      yes I've had this happen almost every time I have any surgery.....my theory is my body doesn't dissolve dissolvable stitches completely........The last time I was actually able to pull it out myself.

    I snipped it and it's already healing:) and yeah it looks horrible because it kept scanning and falling off and there would be a hole and it would scab even bigger! Gonna by some scar away like suggested above
