Sloopyla 2 Posted May 25, 2014 I got sleeve on April 28th. All but 2 of my incision sites are completely healed. One of them though had a stitch sticking out of it. Do I just ignore it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula1965 2 Posted May 25, 2014 Have you surgeon's office pull it for you, it can get infected. 1 msfitn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpySpacePrincess 594 Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah, have your surgeon remove it. It should have been removed the week after your surgery. I had the same thing. Its usually if one incision site won't stop bleeding with just the surgical glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willow13 59 Posted May 25, 2014 I had several stitches stick out. I got my Dr to remove the first one but then used a pair of tweezers to gently tease the others out, don't just yank on them though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joatsaint 2,814 Posted May 26, 2014 Me too, I had the knot from the stitches in the biggest incision sticking out. On my 1st post-surgery follow up, the doc grabbed a tiny pair of scissors and snipped the knot off and tugged the thread out. No big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
