Hi Dee... I started "spitting sutures" about 8-10 days after surgery.  Once the tissues were healed together, I started rubbing mineral oil on the incisons and the tight feeling areas and that's when I felt the suture ends coming through, creating their own little opening.  These would get infected and really tender and won't heal back together until the stitch comes out. So I started pulling them out.   Dr. Danyo said this rarely happens because the sutures are supposed to dissolve over time.  Not mine, they came right up once they served their purpose.  I hope it doesn't happen to you but anone who has ever had trouble with suture rejection should make sure their surgeon knows.  I did inform the office about previous problems with Vicryl sutures and they said they don't use Vicryl, so I thought I was home free.  NOT. Good luck and GodSpeed....
