Everything will be just fine...... They will just dissolve in your stomach.. Your healing will not be affected by this.. It's all good..Health Question & Answer
This is absolutely normal, and in no way will harm you.. The stitch will just get dissolved in your stomach and will not do any harm.. Your healing will not be affected by this either.. This is what the stitches are supposed to do: dissolve on their own and get absorbed by the body.. I hope this helps..Health Question & Answer
Don't worry that is what is supposed to happen, they naturally come out and you probably will swallow them......and you might have swallowed the others.. lolHealth Question & Answer
