5 Weeks Post Op.. Suture finally gone!



Recommended Posts

I am in my 5th week post op. When I went to the Dr. at my 2 week follow up.. 2 of the sutures would not come out as the skin overgrew the point. He removed the other 2. He said if they came through to remove them. Last week or so.. one of them exposed itself and came out. This last one was being difficult and it was starting to hurt when my waistline would press into it. This morning I removed the scab.. I know gross.. and I didn't feel anything there.. as I got ready to leave the house and I was getting dressed.. I kept being scratched by something.. I looked down and dang it.. there it was.. out in the open.. Goodbye Suture!!! I surely will not miss you!! Darn.. and the dr said they were dissolvable.. I do not think so.. that thing was as tough as a fishing line LOL.. but glad it is finally gone.
