So I had my needing stitch removed ( nurse was a butcher proper yanking on stitch to get out) and the next day my would split open was 8cm long 3cm wide so ended up the hospital waiting for 9 hours to be stitched back up and found out I also have a kidney and bladder infection (Excuse the photo ) xxxx

OMG you poor thing!!! Don’t worry- it just needs knitting together a bit longer- once the new stitches are out and it’s sealed- massage the scars regularly and you won’t even see them in a few months! Rest up and look after yourself! Hope you feel better soon!!! Xxx

I must admit it’s a difficult one, I’m a nurse and it is tricky taking out running sutures as they are tight. I found pressing down on the wound helped. Sadly stomach sutures are well known for popping open as there under pressure especially if your swollen from endo & surgery. I hope it knits this time for you.
