Well… The surgeon wasn’t very good… He made multiple mistakes, that I’m aware of, and my issue is coming back a little over a year after the surgery… Now with staph infections because he used non-degradable sutures on the inside and they’re coming out! And I still haven’t financially recovered from the last round… Yay America!
Sorry, I’m not trying to unload on you. Really just venting to the void. No need to respond to this one haha.
Thank you for reading and sympathizing.

No worries, you can vent. That is crazy.
My late grandfather had a triple bypass surgery in probably 2006. A year or so later he kept noticing a pain in his leg. He eventually was able to work out a fucking needle that had been left in his leg during that surgery. It’s probably insane what goes on sometimes…

Geeeez lol. We’ll here’s to hoping there’s no needles inside me! xD

FWIW depending on the procedure, some sutures are meant to be permanent and if they dissolve the results of the surgery will fail. Extrusion of sutures is usually not part of the plan though.

I’m grateful to live near a Mt. Sinai location. Another factor here is that some parts of the country have better healthcare than others. You might consider moving elsewhere in the U.S. or to another country if you anticipate continuing to need more than the occasional doctor visit.
