staples during sleeve surgery?

[fab_mom_of_3 0]

Do the staples used during the sleeve surgery dissolve or will i keep them inside me forever? If i keep them inside me, can i safely have a MRI later if needed??:001_tt2:

They stay inside. I was not told anything about avoiding MRIs, so I imagine there's no issue. The staples are made from titanium (at least if you go to a reputable doctor), so look it up.

They stay, your stomach tissue scars over the staple line, and yes MRI, and other radiological imaging techniques are just fine.

Nopers, I have 2 titanium screws in my left leg, and I've never set off the detectors at any security point. Military and civilian detectors have let me through without the wands going beep beep.

Titanium does not give any problems with MRIs or airport scanners, it doesn't cause reactions in the body either hence it's use medically.Please don't worry about it.

mri and security via airport detect ferrous metal, the permanent staples used in the sleeve are titanium and would not set them off. (the port band is also titanium).....
