Staples Healing

Do the staple dissolve after surgery and how long do you have a chance of bleeding?

Which staples, the internal ones on your stomach? Those stay forever and your stomach tissue grows over them, they are very tiny, many row of them and they are titanium which the body does not reject. They are not detected at the airport or anything.

I saw a video from a bariatric surgeon showing how its done and addressing them specifically. They never dissolve, but as I said your tissue grows over them. I had the same question before my surgery so I was glad to see the video.
