Staples..glue..or Stitches?

[Sarah75 67]

5 of my family members have either had the band or by-pass..all of them were either glued or stitched up..im 4 days post op and have 5 staples in one incision and 1 in the other 4...i get them out Thursday..but i wondering how many of u out there were stapled..glued or stitched..I wonder if this was just my Dr's preference no one in my family used the same Dr

glued in belly button, and 3 other locations glued for hiatal hernia repair.

I had hiatal hernia repair also...I thought for sure they were going to go thru my belly bottom also like when I had my gallbladder taken out but they didn't..one of my staple lines is 4 inches long that's the port

I was glued in my belly-button, about 4-inches above, and 4 inches to the left of my belly-button. The only large incision with the higher one.

My stomach looks like Frankenstein!!!...I did find out that since i had a C-section with my last baby that my insurance will pick up a TT...hopefully that will rake care of the large scar

Mine were all glued with steri strips over them.

I was glue and steri strips.....My biggest scar is about 2 inches, the other 4 ones are about the size ofmy pinkie nail so that is good... right now I look a bit "interesting" but I keep putting mederma on it to hopefully help with the scars as they heal... good luck with yours! I do believe that every dr. has a preference... When I had my 2 c-sections the first was steri strips and glue, the second wanted to do staples but I asked to not have them and she did it the other way.... so every dr. is so different!

I'm going ask Thursday why staples and why he did go thru my belly button

Dissolvable stitches in all

Sounds like I'm one of the few who is stapled

[Ms.Rockwell 7]

I had 5 incisions with the largest one being just below my sternum and I was stapled. I did well with them and my scars are healing nicely!

Oh nice!! I want a TT I had a c-section also. Did they say why? Would it be hard on the c-section scar for extra skin?
