24 lbs!!!
Girl, remember how you wouldn't even lose a couple of lbs? You need to celebrate and pat yourself on the back.
I am doing the happy dance for you.
Celebrate every single oz that is going down.

Those little stitch nubbins are seriously annoying.

I had that happened to me all the time. The disolvable stitches first can break into a smaller pieces then into smaller, etc. Sometimes they start moving to the outside and can irritate. Shortly after surgery- I would trimm them close to the skin. Later on (a good few months) I would just pull our the smaller pieces.

After my 360 body lift - I had small pieces of stitching coming out for a few years... (lots of stitches were put to saw me back together).

Oh wow, thanks for letting me know. It feels weird so I may trim it myself.

You're doing great! Safe travels.

they call that "spitting sutures" - I had a couple of those when I had my breast/arm lifts. It's been so long I don't remember - but I think he did cut them out. It was a relief when they were gone because they got pretty painful after awhile.

P.S. yes, generally internal stitches ARE dissolvable, but these are ones that are rejected by your body, so it's trying to push them out. Once they're more-or-less out, I don't think they'll dissolve - or if so, it'll take them FOREVER.

Good to know! Thanks.

You can take a pair of cleaned scissors to snip the stitch if it is snagging on stuff. You will need a very small pair to get the stitch. You may need to take a tweezer to grab the stitch first.
