Hi all,

Just wondering how long did it take everyone’s stitches to dissolve? 2 of mine seem fine but my belly button I can still feel the stitch inside? It’s been 4 weeks on Wednesday?

Hi Chloe, I am currently 4 weeks post lap and my stitches are still dissolving. How long did yours end up taking and has your belly button healed nicely? Mine is still uncomfortable.

Hi, hope you are recovering well! Mine took around 6/8 weeks if I can remember correctly & my belly button was there one that I was having trouble with, but it’s healed fine & I have no problems now. The nurse told me it’s always the belly button last xx
