My sis says this is a tac that they used to close up the muscle part inside the incision where the tummy came out and they can work their way out. Still calling Dr Monday!!!

Eeeeeek! I wouldn't wait!

Your doctor should have a 24 hour number -- usually just the office number will direct you to the answering service. Do not wait until Monday. It may (and probably is) not a problem, but call now!

sincerely,

a nurse who would be freaked out seeing that

Normal. I had a stitch come out of one of my incisions. I mean come out as in began to stick out. It got longer and longer. Eventually they will be loose enough to gently tug on them and it will come out. It took mine a few days to become loose. My doctor said it wasn't a big deal and would have pulled them out if I had any during my last visit. My wife had a surgery and the same thing happened.

Yeah it was a normal closed over scar and then there was a "scab" that stuck up just enough to tick me off. I couldb't get it and couldn't leave it alone. Irritated the scar. I bite my nails so couldn't get ahold of it with y fingernails so I grabbed my tweezers and when I got a hold of it and it wan't a little scab but a longer metal thing I was like "WHAAAAAT?!?!?"
