After my PK graft, my continuous stitch remained in place for 2.5 years.

I was told that it could come out any time from 6 months to 3 years.

I was told mine would be left in 'forever' if it did not cause problems. I did not fancy that, so I'm pleased it's out now. I feel it would have been better out a couple of months ago, but my consultant reckoned 1year minimum.

Denner - is yours a contnuous stitch?
