Nate 292 Posted July 8, 2012 I wouldn't worry. Just dont go doing any heavy lifting or extreme sports in the mean time and you'll be fine until Tuesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star1221 270 Posted July 8, 2012 The staples look good actually Patrick. Just take it easy. If they hurt is the only time I would worry. Since they are coming out tuesday, it also wouldn't hurt if one did come out.. It wouldn't like bust open is what I mean. And that's right... 13" could be some heavy lifting lol. Sorry, I had remembered that from a prior post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate 292 Posted July 8, 2012 HAHA! The staples look OK. As long as they're not popping out on their own, which is virtually impossible you're fine. The barbs of the staples go in at an inward angle to hold the skin together. So even looking kinda bowed like that, they're still in firmly enough to not worry about it.

smartypants 14 Posted July 8, 2012 The staples look good. Just try to keep the area dry if it's in a fat fold so the incision can continue to heal. I had 25 staples in my leg when I had knee replacement surgery and even though some of them looked a little crooked after a while, they held tight for the two weeks I had them in.

StormWarning 194 Posted July 8, 2012 Those staples look great. I know I haven't had VSG surgery yet, but I did however have an open hysterectomy 11 years ago. At first the staples are flush to the skin, but as your body heals and some of the swelling and inflammation leave, and the skin tightens back up, the staples will flush out some. On the other side, its nice to expect one can always laugh with your humor. The laughs make long days go by easier. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mz_Elle 23 Posted July 8, 2012 I'd agree. They look pretty good. As long as they're not smelling, painful, oozing or changing color, you shouldn't worry too much. Just take it easy and keep an eye on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
