Stitches?

So I am a little over a month out. I noticed a light stringy thing (looks like fish line) coming out of one of my incisions. They have been healing great and there has been little pain around the incisions but has anyone else had this???

Yup.. It's just one of your internal stitches working through. I just tugged GENTLY on them and they came right out.. the one that didn't yield when I gave it a gentle tug, I just clipped with some nail clippers (I used them fresh out of the package, but you could just sanitize them first)
