Getting the staples removed...



Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me if they've had the staples that hold the incisions together removed recently.. does it hurt?? For some reason I'm terrified of that and need to have them removed this week... Help!

Hi Imedalsy, had my staples removed in November and can honestly say it did not hurt at all. You can definitely feel them being pulled out but no pain, at least for me :)

I had to have an extra cut down my middle 40 staples in my belly. Was a bit nervous although ready to get them out. Never felt a thang! No worries it will be a breeze.

Wait they remove the staples later on down the road? I thought they just stayed in you forever, because the stomach heals around them?

No they are referring to staples they use to close the incisions on the outside (skin) of your abdomen not the staples they used to close you're cut out stomach (organ). Some doctors use dissolvable sutures to close the incisions and others use staples, just physicians preference.
