Back on feet after surgery...

Hi ladies. Thanks for all of your wellwishes and prayers. I had my tube removed the 22nd and I'm feeling more like myself now (though still a bit sore) (I'm a wimpy patient, haha).  It wasn't too bad and I don't even remember the drive home , they gave me some good stuff. Have dissolvable stitches, anyone know how long they take to disappear? Now, I'm in the wait for AF in next couple of weeks to see if we can do an ivf cycle and complete it before IVF lab closes Dec. 14th.  Best wishes to all of you ladies today.

Even though I don't know you, and i am new to this forum, I am no stranger to surgical procedures.  I had a tube removed as well, and the stitches should dissolve in a couple weeks... but sometimes where they tie the knots can be stubborn.  I ended up pulling out the knot part with a tweazer after a few weeks!  Glad to see that you are feeling better...
