I am having my surgery Wed. Did anyone have staples and did it hurt when they took them out?

No staples here, just steri strips over my incisions that fell off in about a week. I've heard that staples don't hurt when they come out though, it's just a weird feeling.

Good luck, we'll be thinking about you on Weds!

Hi Joyce!! I was banded by the same Dr that is doing your banding as was my sister and we both had staples. No pain at all when they took them out, more like a relief!

Hi Joyce,

I can vouch for the fact that staples don't hurt at all being removed. I hardly felt it at all. The material they're made of is sort of flexible, and bend easily when the doctor takes them out.

Not to worry! :mad:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
