Staples or glue ?

[JosieMac 20]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if staples is better the glue to close the incisions? Where are the staples manufactured ?

Thanks

Josie

I love my clue

I had a great experience with glue. My 4 tiny incisions are nearly invisible. I know that if you have an allergic reaction to the glue it can be a mess. I would guess that steri strips are another option, but I would never want anything other than glue. It's amazing stuff.

The glue is awesome. No pain no annoyance no removal. Just falls off on its own and leaves No scars

Are you asking about the glue on the outside or the glue they can use on the stomach itself? I am asking to have the glue and the staples or sutures, however they do it, because I hear you have less chance of a leak

I had glue on the outside of all 5 of my incisions. Love the glue because previously I've had staples/stitches and I HATE when they have to take those out. I'm four weeks out today (YAY!!) and I still have glue on one incision but it's starting to flake off finally.

Your MD will decide based on you and his/her preferences. Both work fine. I had glue.

I have staples on my sleeve and had dissolvable stitches right underneath my skin and glue on top of the skin. I asked for the glue because I'm allergic to surgical tape. I was very pleased with my decision. The scars are very small and almost unnoticeable. Staples on the outside scared me because I didn't want them yanking them out while I was awake. They'd have to put me under again. LOL!

Glue for me and it was great. The scars are minimal ever after only 5 weeks.
