How Many Had Staples Post Op

[Lisa's Hope 421]

Hey guys, I'm having my staples out tomorrow. I just wondered how many of you had staples and how long you had them before they took them out? I have one incision that is so sore. I'm not looking forward to it. I've had them before when I had my C-section and had lots of staples... but still... I don't like it.

No Staples for me.

No staples for me either, just steri-strips.

No staples here

I have staples closing my stomach incision. They are all different colors:-) But I assume you are talking about exterior staples. My husband had them closing the incision for his back surgery, and removing them wasn't painful, he said. I had glue myself because I'm allergic to the tape.

Yes exterior staples. Darn.. why did my surgeon have to use staples???

I requested glue.

only steri strips here....but my tubaligation used staples and it didnt hurt to get them removed and there is no scar from the extra holes now.

I had staples and dissolvable stitches in all 6 of my incisions. 18 staples total and I had them taken out after 2 weeks. It was a little uncomfortable having them removed but it was a great relief because they were getting very itchy.

I had staples (28 total ... lap band to sleeve revision). I was at my one-week post op appointment today and they removed them today. I now have steri strips (I think that's what they're called) on six of my eight wounds. The other two were healed enough that she didn't think they needed anything else.

The removal was no biggie. It went really quickly. You feel a bit of a tug when they come out, but I didn't think it hurt, really. Of course, I also took my pain meds before this appointment because I knew they were coming out. lol.

I'm so happy to have them out. It feels much better now.

Thanks guys! I had my staples out yesterday and it wan't a big deal. Now I feel like a baby even worrying about it. LOL I am so glad they are out though. It does feel so much better.

Had to fix my typo. Hate when that happens.
