6 weeks out and popping at the seams

I talked to my surgeon today, after sending pictures. He said that my body was "spitting stitches" or rejecting the stitches and opening up to eject the foreign materials. It's odd though because it's only on my left side. The right side is completely fine and not spitting anything. Seems if it was a reaction it would be all over. I've been told to just keep them dry and they will heal. 

Is there anything that can be done to keep your body from spitting stitches? Some surgeons recommend removing the offendng stitches with a pair of tweezers (the surgeon would remove them not the patient) and this allows the body to heal quicker.

I don't even see any stitches poking out or I would pull those suckers out. I asked if I should go fishing around in there for them and he said no.

Well everything that Dr Capella has ever to,d me has been accurate even when I thought he was wrong, so he is likely giving you good advice - based on my experience. I hope thwt you heal soon.

 

Also thank you for all the concern and messages

Sending good karma and speedy healing to you. I hope the issue resolves itself! Did your surgeon offer up a backup plan in the event it keeps opening up root doesnt heal like he is saying it will?

Thank you for the good karma! It's been a week since I started popping open. I've had another small place on my bikini line open up but it's very small and already scabbed. He said they would heal, just keep them dry. And I've found that by limiting my showers where the scabs will get wet and come off, has helped. So still 3 places on the arms, 2 on bikini line and one that never has fully closed above my tail bone (I never see that so I forgot). He did say that because the scars will be wider where they opened up, that he will revise the scar for free once I get further out.
