Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 , After removing the tape you just have to pull from one end and they will come out the smaller insisions keep the stitches in for 10 days and the larger 15 days there is instructions in our folder packet its under post surgery instructions.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Just pull them out. I'm a wimp so I had my girlfriend do it for me. Pretty simple. Remember, the big one needs to stay in for 15 days. Also, if you're having drainage call Nina and ask her advice. I kept one of the smaller ones in a couple of days longer because of drainage per Nina's advice.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just applied a little pressure with my finger and pulled them out slowly. It did not hurt and came out just fine.Molly <msmolly6255@...> wrote: you can take them out or have your doctor. my friend and i took mine out molly stitches Does anybody remember what Yolanda said about our stitches.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 , clip the knot off the end and pull from the other end. I found a slow, firm, steady pull worked well. Don't pull too fast. I made one of my incisions bleed (just a couple of drops) because I got a bit anxious and pulled kind of jerky. The sutures are thick and they won't break when you pull.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I cannot get under there myself It is really akward to reach for me Picking up my arm or moving around still hurts me.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Sandy . . . Give your doctor a call tomorrow. Call expecting him (or his nurse) to remove the stitches. . . I don't think they will give you a problem. I'd love to know what they think when they see you getting better! Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 My stitches did not desolve. I had to remove them myself.

Finally, Dr. A. said "clip it" they felt so much better. Of course the proper time had gone by so the cut was healed. Just a funny memory, kinda cool and weird too.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 My stitches also came out and I had to cut them. My largest incision actually came unstitched before it was healed so I ended up with 2 open wounds. Wasn't really a big deal. Just when ever you see a new thread just clip it as low as you can without pulling it. On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 11:32 AM, brianne williams <jbriannewilliams@...> wrote: My stitches did not desolve.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Sure he does, but lap procedures have tiny little incisions, like less than 1/2 " so they need to be sutured as well.
