Vicki3007 11 Posted January 21, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kapoorvilla 117 Posted January 21, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimmingdani 57 Posted January 21, 2013 Wait they remove the staples later on down the road? I thought they just stayed in you forever, because the stomach heals around them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some doctors use dissolvable sutures to close the incisions and others use staples, just physicians preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
