Asked By:Lizarn in New Haven, CT

I coughed and pop I felt my stitches rip with a hot and painful sensation after. It happened three times. I now have a bruise around my navel area. I don’t feel as tight as I did after the surgery. I’m 6days PO from TT with muscle repair. How could my stitches rip so easy. My belly button is a bit high. I wasn’t marked prior to surgery could this placement be a result of no marking?
