mine lasted weeks. The nurse said some are designed to last 7 weeks or so. I panicked to but they came out in their own time. Hope the lap went well. X
I had surgery just over eight weeks ago. My dissolvable stitches are only just starting to disappear. I was a little concerned about the length of time, nurse advised they can take up to three months.
Mine lasted weeks too. They will fall out eventually x
Mine lasted for about 6 weeks x
Me too, I'm seeing the nurse at the GP on Thursday to get them checked out 😕
