stitches to tight?

Hello to everyone, I usually just read everyones posts but today I have a question, hopefully I can be put to ease. I had VSG this past monday, Oct. 3, 2011 and everything went well, with the usual soreness and tiredness I am sure, left the hospital on Wednesday, Oct. 5 and started to feel even better once at home. Thursday was my best day since the surgery and I was feeling great, walking as much as I could getting most of my fluids in and taking meds and vitamins-I hadnt even needed any pain medicine either. I must have forgotten what I had just put my body through because as I was trying to get my last few Vitamins down, without thinking I didnt give any time between the pills (they are the fairly larger vitamins through Bariatric Advantage.) Almost as soon as I got the second pill down I felt a terrible wave of nausea come over me and I must have looked bad because my husband seemed concerned wanting to know what was wrong, I felt as if I were going to vomit but I didnt, I did however heave a couple of really big heaves and finally the nausea passed but as it did the sutture that is under the largest incision, the one the stomach is removed from, felt as if it tightened tight, and every since I cant stand straight without this intense pinching feeling. I know that the sutture(s) are dissolving but does anyone know how long it takes them to dissolve or has anyone else experienced this too? I was feeling so great and now I feel so dissappointed in myself for being so careless, I know that is a small complaint compared to some but I was curious if anyone else had a similar experience. Thanks in advance.
