The stitches come out on Wednesday. I walk with a weird gait, just because I'm not trying to put pressure on it, not because it hurts particularly. Actually, I'm very surprised at how little it is affecting me, I had a much harder time getting off the couch with the gallbladder surgery. > Hi , > > Good to see you up and about! > > > Once again, not for average people to worry about, most of you will > > be getting the BSSO, and the stitches for that are minor. > > > I would go even farther to say that the average BSSO doesn't involve > external incisions at all.
