They are internal stitches. Sometime they take up to a month to disolve. You may have to cover it for a couple of weeks if it is weeping? Keep putting betadine on it daily if not. Mine is infected but only a little I may need to get some antibiotics. I asked my Dr about them on Saturday. I have two of them poking out. I think the one is red and puffy because it anoyed me and I touched it too much! Best of luck Jo

Hi All, I'm from Oz and I have been banded for 6 days now! This will be a first posting here also :confused2: I have been lurking for months and reading, reading , reading... Thanks to those that have posted the truth about the pain! Mine is getting better every day. Good luck to those that are being banded in the future. Jo
