worm2872 635 Posted December 4, 2012 Ugh staples! I got lucky I'm glued and healing pretty well. However my internal staples hurt now and then. The pull and pinch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakawaka 108 Posted December 4, 2012 Does anyone else post op almost a week or so still have their staples in? If so, are they now hurting like hell? My cuts are healing but it's like the staples have stretched my skin a little, very sore. My surgeon removed some of my staples 4 days after surgery. The rest will be removed supposedly 10 days after surgery. Yes, they hurt when I move. I do not know the logic why some are kept in and some are taken out. I still have my drain. I know the surgeon wanted the staples next to the drain to stay in to help hold the drain tube. I sure am looking forward to getting rid of that drain!

heather200202 73 Posted December 4, 2012 I had my surgery last Monday and I get my staples out today. If I wasn't, I would have called my doctor to take them out. They hurt, can't get comfortable and hardly sleeping. My drainage tube was out 2 days after surgery. That was starting to hurt too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillyBell 36 Posted December 4, 2012 I got steri strips (taped) as well. I'd call the doctor and have him take a look at them to see if they can be removed. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk 1 mommy327 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KellyAnn805 21 Posted December 6, 2012 I didn't have staples either. Just internal dissolvable stitches and steri-strips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newlife4leah 73 Posted December 6, 2012 I have staples and they are completely annoying! I also have a binder and it started to feel like the staples were getting pulled when putting it on so I started covering a couple of them.... hopefully they will come out tomorrow since that is the next time I see my surgeon...

bakawaka 108 Posted December 6, 2012 I am expecting to have my drain and my remaining staples removed this Friday. Removal of staples did not hurt. Does it hurt to have the drain removed? I'm a little nervous about that drain removal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a little nervous about that drain removal. The drain removal doesn't hurt but it's a feeling you won't forget. Just breathe through it and it will be over in quickly. 1 sky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
