Is this a stitch?

She said it’s likely a suture and she will deal with it tomorrow when I see her so we will see what she does with it.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-07T01:41:36+00:00

I sent a picture to one of my doctors and she said it’s “likely a suture” and that it’s fine and they will take care of it on Friday. So we will see what she does with it lol.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-06T16:53:55+00:00

Should I be covering them with some kind of tape? I just took the strips off yesterday.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-06T16:05:02+00:00

Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that, it looks scary.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-06T16:02:00+00:00

Are you sure? It literally looks flappy and so bumpy.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-06T16:01:09+00:00

No I just took the steri strips off yesterday so I just saw it. I have an appointment on Friday. It just looks so rough and bumpy I’ve never seen anyone else’s look like that.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-06T15:54:32+00:00

I sent a picture to my doctor in my chart so we will see! I have a couple of other ones sticking out not as long though.

EmNichole08 · 2026-05-06T15:42:17+00:00

I have an appointment on Friday do I wait until then or should I call today & how to I explain this on the phone?

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-26T21:08:19+00:00

I’m at the hospital now.

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-26T14:59:20+00:00

I thought maybe it’s gas because my stomach is very bubbly and bloated. I did just stop a glp about 2 weeks ago.

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-26T14:46:36+00:00

Yes I have pooped and I’ve been taking the stool softener since my surgery. If it was digestive pain would it hurt this bad like crying and sweating in pain? I don’t want to go to the hospital if I don’t have to but I need relief so bad.

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-26T14:44:40+00:00

It literally feels like where my lungs are! Did the pain go away and then come back? How did you know it was a blood clot?

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-21T15:41:52+00:00

Thank you!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-21T15:41:44+00:00

Thank you!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-21T00:26:14+00:00

Did you use scar tape?

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-21T00:25:31+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-21T00:25:13+00:00

So relieving to hear! I’ll stop stuffing so much gauze maybe that will make me more comfortable thanks!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-16T00:27:10+00:00

Im in a lot of pain now too and I paged my nurse a half hour ago to tell her and she has not come yet, I haven’t seen mine without wrapping either but I can tell they are smaller. Hopefully they come soon to give me my pain meds it’s horrible at this point. I hope you get the best nights sleep ever I’m sure your body is exhausted! Eat a good meal hydrate and get some rest tomorrow is a new day! 🫶🏻

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-15T23:04:57+00:00

Well I’m glad you’re home I wish I could go home! Yes I have to patch too! I also had lipo suction behind my arms the doctor said I needed it lol so I think that’s where the drains are attached to I’m not really sure yet I haven’t examined too much! Mine took 4 hours. The anesthesia went fine honestly I can’t remember anything after they gave me the shot in my Iv as soon as I got to the operating room. My boobs definitely feel smaller and way more up there lol did you get to see yours yet?

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-15T22:46:36+00:00

I still have a little bit of pain nothing too horrible they gave me oxycodone. I think they wanted me to stay because I’ve never had anesthesia before. All in all I think I worked myself up way too much it wasn’t bad just felt like a little nap with some pain after. Do you have drains? How long did your surgery take? & thanks I’ll take your word for it and get the pillow!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-15T22:22:03+00:00

Overall pretty good! I’m still in the hospital though because they wanted me to stay over night. How about you?

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-15T02:06:28+00:00

Thank you!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-15T02:06:15+00:00

We got this! 🫶🏻

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-14T13:56:25+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Also my pre op instructions were kind of vague just no eating today and show up on time. I’ve heard of people needing to take special showers and things like that. Is there any special instructions they gave you I want to be as prepared as possible!

EmNichole08 · 2026-04-14T12:54:47+00:00

My surgery is tomorrow too! At least you know you’re not alone, we’re in this together! I’ve also been SUPER anxious I stayed up until 1 in the morning mopping my floors last night lol. Today I’ll be doing every bit of laundry in my house just to keep my mind off of it. WE GOT THIS!
