Hi all....the one day at a time deal has been working pretty well..gaining some weight and getting outside!...but I need to reach out with a question to my forum friends. I don't recall stitch issues from 19 years ago. I still almost 6 weeks later have a mouthful of "blue" stitches holding my jaw and free flap. If they are nylon apparently they will NOT go away on their own. I was never told to come back and have them out / or/ and never asked if they will dissolve and if so how long? So now the swelling is of course going down and I have a forest of these things and they are not going anywhere. Does anyone have experience with this? I am trying to hold off on calling my surgeon but will need to do so Monday if this persists....just hoping for some advice. Thanks as always!
