    How much to wait to get the surgery?

    I waited to get mine done for 20 years, ended up having cardiac arrest and required 15 minutes of cpr, get it done asap.

    You are clearly the one who wants to argue, you contradicted what a medical professional told me, I mentioned this, you had a fit like a child and qouted a monty python skit, ignored.

    Spitting sutures

    The nurse practioner that works with my surgeon said it was tissue from between the pectoral muscles herself, so I'll believe the nurse practioner over random internet forum person Best wishes.

    Spitting sutures

    They use glue on the skin, they use sutures below the skin in the muscles etc. It's one of the internal sutures that exited the skin as they used glue on my external incision.

    Spitting sutures

    Hi I found out today I have at least one spitting suture on the scar of my sternotomy, is this common, and how is it normally treated?
