    I had dissolving stitches and glue. No removal needed and they're healing almost invisible.
    Sleeved September 4 with Dr. Elias Ortiz!

Mine had some tissue grown around, and stuture area was a little inflamed (not incisions) so they definitely needed some level of expertise- also Dr used a numbing cream so I was very glad to have her... Hoping for you to have some good care stateside.
    I would travel out of state to have a doctor like that.

    I had staples. They pulled some but weren't too bad. I did feel better once they were removed. I had the glue with my gallbladder and I had more of a scar with it. May just be me though

    I found that only dr.almanza use the stitches that need to be removed by others. Dr. Ortiz, dr.lopez use dissolved stitches. I did research online, and ask the coordinator about it.
