Gastric sleeve stapels

[Abbie719 8]

Hi, will the staples come off after the gastric sleeve surgery?

The Staples used to create your new stomach are permanent. There are probably 3 rows of them. If you watch a vsg sleeve surgery, you can see what they look like. Dr Ariel Ortiz and Dr illan have good videos.

If you're talking Staples that close the surgical wound on your skin, they come out.

Hope this helps!
