I'm 15 days post-op and have read various reports of when they dissolve so I'm not sure. At the moment the stitches are the only problem as it's painful when they catch on clothing etc

If they are dissolvable stitches, the part you cannot see will dissolve over time and the ends you can see will drop off. There is no fixed timeline for that happening. If those ends are causing you trouble then a doctor or nurse may be able to snip the ends off.
