Staples? Really? I just had "steri strips" on my incisions and they took them off at my 10 day follow up. Staple removal shouldn't be painful, maybe a bit uncomfortable. I'm just surprised that you have staples at all!

ive taken out a lot of c section staples. there are a lot. not the most fun time, but its fine. you prob dont have all that many. if they're straight they come out real easy. its the ones that are a little cock-eyed that can be more uncomfortable.

I'm surprised u have staples too. Thought they went out with the Vietnam war. I had steri strips that fell of themselves and 1 stitch over where my drain was. At my 4 weeks visit the nurse saw it and said "uh oh" It was sposed to come out with my drain before I left the hospital! She painlessly took it out. It was starting to get on my nerves, poking me thru my clothing...

It should be painless. Don't worry...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
