is this surgical wire?

I have a tiny but annoying piece of what feels like monofilament wire poking out of my topmost incision. Its been there since surgery. I tried to pull it with tweezers, but there isnt enough to really grab and it kinda makes me nervous, dont want to unravel my innards lol. But where all the other incisions are healing very nicely, this tiny section of the top one (by my sternum) is becoming a little red and irritated. If I called Dr Toder tomorrow, would they maybe see me, or should I go to my own doc? It catches on my shirts and feels weird, ide like to get it out.

Happened to me also.  It is just a stitch that didn't dissolve.  She told me that this happens alot.  She just pulled it out with tweezers.  It you don't feel comfortable cover it up with a band-aid and she will take it out on your next visit. 

That happened to me, too, on several of the incisions. Dr. T. just trimmer/pulled them all out at the 2 week post op appointment. Either call and make an appointment or wait until your next time. In the meantime, cover them up if they are bothering you.

Happened to me too.  None of my stitches dissolved.  This was the first surgery I've ever had.  She told me that if I ever had to have surgery again, I probably should mention it since my body just doesn't dissolve stitches.  I actually had to go back in at around 4 months because a stitch in my bottom incision had worked it's way through.
