Hi everyone !! So I finally did it , I got my full mouth extraction last Thursday . It was not as bad as I had feared . Now my issue is ...the stitches !! The surgeon used dissolvable stitches in my entire mouth , top and bottom . Now they are starting to poke out and feel like wires and the ones all the way in the back feel "gummy and very stretchy " so I think they are starting to dissolve . My issue is I cant stand that feeling way in the back , I feel like Im swallowing them and they are stuck in my throat . I laid down last night had had to throw up . Anyone have experience with dissolvable stitches ?? When the hell will they go away ?? Thanks everyone
 
Great to hear that it wasn't as bad as you had feared ?! Dissolvable stitches are one of @Gordon 's pet hates:



Maybe you could ask the surgeon to remove them if they're annoying you?
