Surgery Wounds

[pointer 92]

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.

I had mine in for 2 weeks and yes they sure were annoying

Ugh staples! I got lucky I'm glued and healing pretty well. However my internal staples hurt now and then. The pull and pinch!

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!

every thing on me was stiched inside and out no pulling

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.

My stitches were removed yesterday after 2 Weeks and now just have butterfly bandages...I'm a little more sore today...8 incisions in all..how incisions for just a standard gastric bypass?

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.

I didn't have staples either. Just internal dissolvable stitches and steri-strips.

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...

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.

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.

Hopefully, mine are out now much better
