Staples?? Didn't have any! Just 5 tiny incisions with some kinda sticky stuff on them.

I had internal stitches and some clear bandages that had to stay on 3-5 days, no staples

Some folks have a drain installed (I did) there was a pretty significant incision on my lower right side Like 2 inches. This was were the tube came out and was stabled around the tube. They took the drain out before I left the hospital and the staples came out the next week.

Just Staples on like 4 out of 6 incisions. The bigger ones. I will get them taken out on Valentines day. Ohhh dreading that day cuz I will go back to work Mon an I am a pre school acher and on VD my little kids give me tons of candy. Most of all of the parents know I had this done so hopefully just a card or maybe flowers.

I did have a drain as well, but still no staples. Probably each doctor or hospital does it there own way...

No staples, no drain! Just internal sutures with steri strips.

No staples and no drain....I had glue....it was easy and convenient. Could shower while in the hospital. Worked out well.....
