I may need surgery again

faith_may · Jul 23rd, 2008, 18:50 PM

As you know, I had a surgery done on May, I recovered well, but 2 days ago I started to feel that the internal stitches of my belly button were bothering me. It's not pain it just bothers me, the stitches of the skin were taken 15 days after the surgery but the surgeon let me know that the internal stitches took almost 6 months for the body to absorb them. I called him today and let him know what I was feeling, he said it was normal, but if the skin around the belly button gets irritated or if wound opens up and starts to suppurate, I may need a little surgery to remove that stitch. I don't want another surgery right now, I don't care if it is mayor surgery or a little one, I'm pregnant I don't want to do anything that may affect the baby.

The only thing i can think to suggest is to take it as easy as you possibly can, dont do anything that will strain your tummy, the house work can wait, lol. I hope it gets better soon, and im hoping you dont have to have any surgery.
