carol134 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Has anyone every had their stetches break loose around the port? Mine have and I had surgery on June 7th. The doc didn't seem to worried he just put me on antibotics and let me go. The port was a bit swollen and a little red. I could actually feel the stitches break, weird. Should I be concerned?

Dody 0 Posted July 20, 2006 My stitches are absorbable, so I know nothing about pulled stitches, but would think with surgery in June your stitches would be pretty well healed. Hope you are feeling better. Dody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandit 5 Posted July 27, 2006 My stitches broke and came out. I think it depends on what kind they used and how your body reacts to them. If your doc didn't seem worried then I'd say you're probably OK. I know...it's weird though! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carol134 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Well I'm going for a fill on Monday (2) fill I hope this does it as far as hitting that sweet spot. Also I feel like if he can hit the port I'll be okay as far as the stitches breaking loose. Thanks you guys for your knowledge and support.:nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wanttobethin1 0 Posted July 29, 2006 I only had two stitches place in a port that should have had four and one of them broke. My port now has dropped and sits side ways I now can only have fills under floro because it is so deep and turned. No problems filling it under floro. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
