1984 stomach was stapled, and don't have any idea of long time staples?

Had stomach stapled back in 1984. Things have changed much, what happens to staples after long time? I also gained all the weight since. There wasn't any help on what happens after operation at all. Saw my Dr. once after surgery, saw her once before surgery. I didn't have a clue on what I was getting myself into. Had it done at St. Elizabeth Hospital, in Boston, MA. Doctors name was Susan Stanton.
