Sounds like you have a spitting stitch. That's when your body rejects a dissolvable stitch. Your incision won't heal with it in there. go to your ps and he will snip it out for you or look for instructions online and you can do it yourself.
If you are stressed and can't control you're eating habits then I would not have a tummy tuck until you are mentally and physically ready. The more weight you lose or the more muscle you can gain, the more skin they can pull with less fat getting in the way. Maybe this is a question that should be placed in the doctor Q&A section.
Do you feel anything poking you when you feel along your incision? I had about a dozen dissolvable stitches that came up to the surface that caused infections because my body rejected them. Eventually I learned to run my fingers along my incisions and feel for them. As soon as I felt one, I grabbed it with tweezers and pulled them out or clipped them or with a cuticle flipper before they even had a chance to start an infection.
My bb was like that from swelling. I took a marble, covered it in Manuka honey (natural bacteria killer but won't kill the good bacteria) and gently pushed it into the bb and covered it with a large waterproof bandage . The pressure of the bandage along with the marble gently pushed the bb back into an innie. Don't do anything without clearing it with your ps but it worked for me!
