Hello girls, Im 3 weeks post op and first of all I want to say thanks to all of you cause you have helped me soooo much in my journey. :)
With that said, Im just 3 weeks post op and most old my stitches have been absorbed except for the ones an the base of my vagina which also turned white, so how long til these are completely gone..?? My surgeon was Marci Bowers...
Thnks ladies...
I am a Montreal girl, I was told that some would absorbed in 3 weeks and others would be 6-8 weeks. I bet the one you see are the longer lasting type. This area is one of the longest to get healed up in a lot of girls.

Thanks Izzy, It is taking a while just have to wait it out I guess.. ;)
I think my final ones were absorbed or fell out around 6 weeks. You might even see a loose end hanging. They should take care of themselves.
Hi Sis -- I'm another Bower's Babe at 10 months +. The sutures you are talking about took about 5 weeks or a little more for me to no longer notice them, and one left before the other did. I had one pesky one that was a little below my clitoris that was across the area just above my vaginal opening that cut loose from one end, and hung around like a bad whisker for several days, but eventurally fell out at 6 weeks. We all get it just a bit different. Don't be afraid to call Robin in Trinidad or the San Mateo office if you have questions about what is going on. I had lost a couple of sutures even before they took the packing out, but that was fine, since I guess one was left over from the drain. You may even find suture material on your panty liners that look ugly, but are harmless.
Thanks girls I definitely see the lose end hanging at the bottom.
Vicky I also have one right under my clitoris all of the other ones are pretty much gone and thats a relief... Its nice to see another Bowers girl on here... :)
