Hey ladies so it’s been about a month since my op , my dissolveable stitches are still very present in my tummy . Should I go to a doctor because it’s like they just are not going to dissolve and the ones in the belly button are constantly digging into me . Did anyone else experience this and what did they do how long did they take to go I was told it usually takes about a week or 2 . Thanks

Mine in my belly button took about three weeks. They don't dissolve, or rather perhaps the bit inside does, I don't know, mine kind of fell off from the knot, just had a bit of string type thing fall out at some point leaving little pinholes, those healed.
If they're bothering you, you can request a nurse appointment at your GP center to have them removed xx
Hello
Yes same thing happened to me. I made an appointment with a nurse who removed them, about a month after my lap. She needed a hand from another nurse to do the ones in my belly button as mine is like a black hole 😂. So trying to get those out took some effort but no pain or anything.
I'd make an appointment so long as your incisions have healed it's fine to have then removed.
