Did anyone get staples to close their incisions?

Staples..I have also but I had them as well with band removal and it didn't hurt to take out.

titanium staples and glue on the entire INTERNAL sleeve. Glue used to close small incisions where scopes and equipment were used for surgery.

My incisions were stapled. No problems. Barely felt them coming out. I had surgery on a Tuesday morning and the staples came out Thursday just before noon. They put steri strips on them after removing the staples.

The tape on the arm hair holding the IV in hurt worse coming off.

Stalls are your body's way of telling you not to get too cocky.

Yes, I had staples, and they were removed the day after surgery. It doesn't hurt to have them taken out, I promise. I've had staples before, and it's more an unpleasant tuggy feeling than pain. Honest.
