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!!!

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?!?!?"

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
