Getting staples out today! Yay! Pulled a muscle coughing the other day in the location of the drain! Ouch! I'm hoping the doctor will progress me to pureed foods today. (One week post op).

Woot super exciting! No more staples!

I keep reading about staples and drains.. i didnt have any of these .. did u have the sleeve ?? if so where are the staples and drains?

The staples are where the incisions were. I guess some doctors may use dissolvable stitches, but I had staples. The drain is no longer in, it just hurts in the location of where the drain was. You must have had a drain at some point?

I had crazy glue looking stuff on my incisions... if i had a drain they took it out before i woke up from the surgery...(thank god)

I too did not have staples or a drain. I have stitches and steri-strip tape over the incisions.
