carissacarissa75 10 Posted March 21, 2013 I had my surgery exactly a week ago and mines lasted from 2:18pm-10:30pm....I was told it would be a 4hour procedure but my Surgeon stated when closing me up I kept Oozing where my staples went into my abdomen(the six incisions) yeah so he took them out and hand sewn every stitch which was time consuming...needless to say I'm quite pleased because now my incisions are even tinier than the staples would have been and knock on wood there has been no problems.... I am thankful for Dr. REARDON at The Methodist Hospital in Houston Texas in the medical center and the ENTIRE SURGICAL TEAM!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
