Oh dang, okay :) and for some reason I'm like no pain, I don't take any pain medication either, the only thing that hurts is my back from sleeping in the hospital bed, they are terriblly uncomfortable!

I'm 3 weeks post and I still have some. They told me they dissolve and some fall out. So don't freak out if you see a little stitch when u wipe because I freaked out and thought I tore them. Lol. They told me 3-6 weeks they dissolve.  Good luck. That first two weeks were the worst! So painful:(
