I had my lap on 10th September and my stitches have only just fell out and the stitches in my bellybutton are still there, the nurse said they can take months to fall out/dissolve x
I had my lap on 1st October and was told if the stitches hadn’t dissolved to have them removed by a nurse after 5-7 days. I had mine removed around day 9 as they were hurting me and got on much better once there were removed. The nurse did say she didn’t think they would’ve dissolved with the amount she had to remove.
mine were ripped out at 'surgeons advice' after 1 week and was honestly almost as much pain as the surgery itself. I found another right in my bellybutton when I got home and decided to leave it, fell out on it's own 6 weeks later x
