Popping a stitch: My diastasis was severe. 10 days post-op.

Asked By:chemmommy in Frisco, TX

My PS did 3 layers of plication to fix it up. I'm 11days po and have this constant tickle in my throat possibly due to allergies. I carry water with me all the time and take sips because I'm deathly afraid of coughing and popping a stitch. Unfortunately, a big sneeze snuck up on me and it hurt. I'm healing quite nicely and I want to keep it up. How likely could a cough/sneeze pop a plication? I will do anything to appease the allergy gods not to ruin this for me!
