Getting staples out today! Yay! Pulled a muscle coughing the other day in the location of the drain! Ouch! I'm hoping the doctor will progress me to pureed foods today. (One week post op).

I keep reading about staples and drains.. i didnt have any of these .. did u have the sleeve ?? if so where are the staples and drains?

The staples are where the incisions were. I guess some doctors may use dissolvable stitches, but I had staples. The drain is no longer in, it just hurts in the location of where the drain was. You must have had a drain at some point?

I had crazy glue looking stuff on my incisions... if i had a drain they took it out before i woke up from the surgery...(thank god)

I had my staples and drain removed today also. I feel 95% normal now. Im progressing my diet slowly since I'm band to sleeve therefore I have another week of full liquids!

I too did not have staples or a drain. I have stitches and steri-strip tape over the incisions.
