Hi all. I am wondering if anyone remembers their stoma stitches following surgery…. Mine are itching like mad and a bit painful still. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. My surgeon said they are long-lasting dissolvable ones…. Last 8-12 weeks… I can’t tell if it’s my wafer leaking or just the stitches when my appliance is on. Any insight? So far I haven’t had any leaks, but as I am moving more and actually going out of the house… I want to be vigilant for leaks.
