Looks like it is actually caught in the incision. Not sure what to do.

Re: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

I don't know, but I wonder if the glue is what is keeping it closed? Some people have glue instead of stitches. So I wouldn't mess with it. However, as we all say, ask the doctor.

Re: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

I had the same thing. It was keeping my incision closed. At my 3 week checkup the doctor removed some of the glue. The remainder just came off by itself. Be patient!

Thanks. I'm not going to do anything with it - it's just slightly uncomfortable when it catches on my shirt lol.

Re: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

Leave it alone - it will come out when the incision is healed. Yours should be mostly healed since you are only 2 days behind me and mine has been healed for a couple of weeks, but each person is different and the belly button is a weird area. You can probably gently wash it with a washcloth to loosen it if it seems ready as long as you don't scrub. You don't want to open that incision up by playing rough.

Re: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

I still have mine from the 24th. ..They put a lot more glue in the belly button than they did on my other 3 incisions! The glue in my belly button is starting to lift around the edges but is tough to tear off..I'm afraid it will rip off the whole scab if I try to pull it to hard, and I bet that would hurt real bad!!

Re: Laparoscopic hysterectomy: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

I put a bandaid over my belly button so the lifted part wouldn't catch on anything. Left it loose so air could circulate. Worked great to protect the area.

Re: Laparoscopic hysterectomy: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

Funny how the belly button is the most difficult area to heal. I had surgery a week and 3 days ago and when I went to my 1 week post op visit to get the stitches taken out the belly button was not healed at all ! He had to tape it back up , but at least it is not infected ! All my incisions are sensitive though some days it feels like I have been stabbed in 4places ! Some days I just cry out for a new abdomen !!!!!!!!

Re: Laparoscopic hysterectomy: Glue is stuck in my belly button incision.

Band aid is a good idea so it won't catch on your clothes and pull off before it should. Happy healing all.
