Great news on the relatively "simple" surgery. On my second surgery I had a graft from my right thigh and the stitches they left in were long and drove me nuts! I felt like I had wire in my mouth and one of the stitches would even protrude from my lips - it was THAT long!
Here I am a year later and had completely forgotten about all that until you posted. If I recall correctly I got them to trim the stitches and then they dissolved without issue. This too shall pass!
I wish you a swift recovery.
