Staples Out!

[mjrevel 101]

I'm going on Wednesday to have my drain removed. Does anyone know if they take the staples out then. I don't know why I didn't ask my Doctor this.

Hmm what staples are you talking about? If you mean the ones they used to seal off your new stomach no they stay in forever!

They dont remove the staples........

Yes they took mine out on my one week follow up and covered my incisions with sterie strips and it took close to three weeks for them to fall off

I had mine removed the day I left the hospital- 2 days after my surgery.

Internal staples stay in forever. The incision stitches came out for me at my 1 week postop.

I thought she was talking about internal staples.

I got dermabond.

Mine are also dermabond.

I'm not sure what they called it but it must have been extra strength super glue to hold my stomach. No stitches the staples on my sleeve live with me forever.

Thanks for your comments. I knew the sleeve staples stay forever. I have two to three staples on four incisions. Sounds like they come out this week. Yea!!!
