s.thompson 10 Posted July 29, 2016 Has anyone had problems with any internal stitches making their way out. In one of my incisions I have one coming out. I can't grab at it but when something rubs against it, it hurts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted July 30, 2016 Put a gauze pad over it and give your team a call. They will tell you what to do. This is not uncommon, so please do not panic. The gauze pad is just to prevent the stitch from rubbing against your clothing. Post back and let us know how you made out. Good luck, friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reree6898 1,164 Posted July 30, 2016 One of mine did that. My surgeon had me just keep a little bandaid over it till the internal part dissolved then the part that stuck out fell off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s.thompson 10 Posted July 30, 2016 It's not that big. It started off like a pimple and over time I feel it only when my clothing rubs on it. I'm not alarmed of them coming out. Just bothersome ya know Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
