So I Have This String...

coming out of my belly button. I know. I am a walking freak show. It's not a loose string. It is a string going into my stomach! It's about 1.5". I noticed it last week while I was picking at inspecting my surgery scab. I had my surgery solely through my belly button which is awesome. So as I was scratching my scab I felt something. "What is the world?" and all of a sudden I pull up this surgical string coming out of the side of my belly button. What is even weirder is that I can actually pull it and more comes out. It freaked me out so bad that I have just left it. My dr. appt is next week so I will just hold off till then. But seriously. Isn't that weird?! What in the world is it coming from? Creepy.

I think for now I will blame it on my turtle speed weight lose! Hey. It has to serve some purpose!

    Oh my.. A string??? Kinda like one of those dolls - pull the string and she talks! Maybe your belly button is going to start talking to you!

    I'm afraid now to see what's under my bandages.. I will be anxious to hear what the string is.....

    I was about to say it sounded like a suture but J.A.W. took the words right out of my mouth. :)

    Leave it alone, it might be holding something important in place! lol

    I had a suture coming out of my large incision for a few weeks and of course I could not just leave it alone. At my first follow up the surgeon pulled it out further and cut it off.
    I sort of missed it after it was gone. Nothing to obsess about!

    I agree, it's probably a suture. I had a few start coming out after awhile. If it bothers you or catches on things I would cut it a little and then your doctor can tell you when you go in.
