I was sleeved April 15th at about 2pm. The first couple days after surgery I spend sleeping but once day 3 hit I wanted to walk and ride to every where but the doctor suggested only walking around and no steps until my first post op visit. I now see why because without my vitamins or protein shakes I have gotten very weak. My doctor wanted STRICTLY CLEAR LIQUIDS. I don't regret the pain or weird feeling in my stomach because 6 days later I'm down 21.5lbs!! :-) now can anyone tell me how many staples are on each incision and if they hurt to remove the bandages and staples?

I thought we had dissolvable stitches????!! Did the surgeon say we had stitches??? My surgeon was Attia. I'm so ready to move on to the next stage I feel so hungry and empty. Glad you're doing well!!

Angeleyes_oz,

I think it depends on how many incisions u have. I had 5 incisions. 3 of them had 2 staples 1 had 1 med incision that had 4 staples and then I have a long incision that had 7 staples. I got my staples removed last wed it wasn't bad. My incisions healed very well over the week period. I had surgery on April 9.

I think it's doctors preference. I'm pre op, but I has 2 cections with 2 different doctors. One used staples, one used "glue"

Having my staples out in an hour :/ I have four spots three have three staples and the fourth has four. I also have a drain with an open hole. That should make me lose my lunch when she removes it :/ ill let you know how it felt when I get back

When I had my staples removed from my cections it felt like a sting. Like someone plucking a hair out. Not really painful. But it's a different kind of surgery so not sure how relevant my experience is lol

I have glue on my incisions and tomorrow will be a week. How long is the glue suppose to last?

I am 19 days post and only have a little bit of glue left . . .

How was your staple removal? How many did you have?

Angel I had approximately 20. Wasn't terrible at all just feels weird. The drain spot was the worst lol. That made me feel like I wanted to puke.
