Author Topic: Removing stitches after Reversal Procedure Dval2007 Member # 13961 posted                    Tulipgarden LOL LOL!!! he got out his glasses was so cute! I too said maybe I'll just go pay my 20 dollar copay so they do it right Evierey I also said that to the DH or I made a hiss noise and he would jump back. LOL Poor guys! Danaka TulipGarden Member # 13451 posted                    I was so scared to do this!! I was seriously going to go into the walk in clinic and have them do it but they wouldnt. So, DH got out his reading glasses (not a good sign lol) and did it. Cut the ends off and that was it. Evierey Member # 13319 posted                    I had my husband help me lol we was not happy because I kept telling him to be careful haha but I got thru it or I should say he got thru it in one peace hahaha good luck ladies on your recent tr and loads of baby dust!! dangle1999 Member # 14146 posted                    Thank you they gave me a sheet about what to expect after tubal reversal, but I was not not sure because when you lift it up to cut it it pulls the other side. But I got it all done thanks a lot ladies. Angela Dval2007 Member # 13961 posted                    That was a very good question cause I expected to have to cut it and then pull a little bit out!! I know they explained it but I guess the meds were still in affect. I did one and then freaked (lol) I did the other one and the same thing happend. So I thought maybe they desovled inside! So thank you Martha for answering that question!! Danaka Martha, LPN Member # 12781 posted                    The suture used to close the incision is underneath the skin and will dissolve over a period of several weeks. On the 10th day after tubal reversal surgery, cut the suture knots at each end of the incision by simply lifting up gently on the knot and cutting between the knot and the skin. Martha Evierey Member # 13319 posted                    Before the reversal surgery the nurses give you a list of do's & don'ts and in them it explaines when and how to take care of the stiches. babymamawannab Member # 13465 posted                    Just cut the knots off of each end. They will dissolve on their own. dangle1999 Member # 14146 posted                    When you ladies removed the stitches did you have to pull them out? When I lift one end of the stitch the other end pulls so it is one string. So do i cut the end and pull it out? Or do I just cut the knots off?
