Stitch poking out.

by Lottie835 13th May 2013, 11:00 am

Right at the corner of my lefty a stitch is poking out, Il show my nurse on my 6 week check but that's a bit late and Il be like 8 weeks PO then, It was the only late appointment she had as I can only go after work...

Its been there from the start I just thought it would have fallen out by now?

Hope it don/t hurt or anything if she has to pull it out???

Can anyone enlighten me?

Will it be left? Or taken out? Or will I be told to wait and see? xxx

Thanks xxxxxxxxxx

It'll be taken out babe and you won't feel a thing.

I'd really try and get to see your nurse as soon as to get the stitch snipped. Spitting stitches are very common but... They do risk becoming infected, so I'd if you've been given the all clear to fully submerge your boobs in the bath, or use public swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzis, I'd very much suggest you don't do this until the stitch is removed as you now have an opening hun. I wouldn't use any bio-oil or moisturisers either on the part where you stitch is picking out hun, just to avoid he risk of infection.

Don't worry though. Just keep an eye on it if you can't get an appointment any sooner. Xx

Ok, thanks for the advice cookie, Im still just showering atm didnt want to submerge them yet anyway x haha im so cautious and def no swimming or saunas for a while so hopefully it will be out and all clear by the time I start doing all that again ;) x and im not using anything around them at all until my appointment, Il def give her a call and try and get the appointment on my 6 week date or even earlier if I need the stitch snipped, Its so tiny poking out Im not even sure it could be snipped not sure there is enough of it but well see when i have the appointment. Il be careful x

Thank you xxx

Hey Hun, good advice from cookie. Try and get seen sooner as you don't want to set back your recovery, lose stitches in any place can be a direct entry for infection. xx

....tiny stitches can be sniped ;) it maybe that they are happy for you to carry on as you are but defo call and take advice. xx

Hey Lottie,
I had a tiny bit if thread hanging out at the end of my scar. I wasn't even sure if it was thread or skin till it fell out yesterday. No sign of infection or anything but I noticed it since the dressings came off at 12 days po xx
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about but if it puts ur mind at ease I'd ask xx

I agree with the others hun, try and get an appointment to see your nurse! If you can't then as cookie says, no oils etc and don't submerge them in water. (I'm still too scared lol).

I'm feeling ok thank you Smike

my ribs are sore today but I feel the swelling has started to go down a little and I'm moving my arms fine! Surgery day was great I was in theatre for 1pm and stayed overnight. Even my husband didn't want to go, lol. I had to forcefully tell him to go home as he settled down for the evening, getting tea and food brought to him while watching the soaps, lol.

I hope you hear back soon, chances are it will be fine but always best to log it so you don't risk voiding aftercare or doing something not advised ;) xx

Ahhh haha so glad it went well that sounds like my other half, LOL

They can happen with any surgeon. Spitting stitches really are a common thing that happens when having a BA. Really glad you're being seen so soon though. Xx

by Lisa34 13th May 2013, 6:27 pm

I'm glad you've got it sorted hun x maybe ask to keep it lol!

by Lottie835 13th May 2013, 6:37 pm

So strange after 5 weeks nearly since my BA I've had that stitch and I think it's disappeared! Hysterical

I actually can't find it now???? I don't want to poke around too much but I can't find it? I only felt it this morning when changing sports bra? How mad if it fell out today?? When I arranged to go and see the nurse! Haha, after my shower il feel again and if nothing i suppose nature wanted rid of it today lol x

by **COOKIE** 13th May 2013, 6:40 pm

Its possible it simply broke away... Keep your appointment though and if you've no others the day before then cancel it then babe. Xx

by Lottie835 13th May 2013, 6:42 pm
