The staples ??

I have a question that I never even thought to ask before -- someone asked me yesterday, if the staples stay inside of us forever? I didnt know. ???

yes, they do. The staples on the inside are made of titanium and will last forever. The ones they use on the outside are surgeal steal and I had a reaction to those. It healed right up after I had them removed and I've had no problems from the titanium at all.

Ok, thanks -- I kinda thought so, but I couldnt remember if anyone had said, before. I knew that they were titanium. Hmmmm ... allrighty then!

dido what she said above i asked the doc and im sure i drove him crazy with question they stay in forever but we also heal too its like a double protection thingy. Titanium is also what he said was used. I also asked if i would beep at an airport he said no perhaps someday we shall see kindest regards deb

Thanks to you too! At least now I will know. And thanks also for the added answer on the airport question. I had forgotten about that one!

YOU WONT BEEP AT THE AIRPORT...I ALREADY TESTED THIS OUT AS I HAD MY SURGERY DONE IN MEXICO AND FLEW HOME A WEEK LATER...NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
