    Staples? Really? I just had "steri strips" on my incisions and they took them off at my 10 day follow up. Staple removal shouldn't be painful, maybe a bit uncomfortable. I'm just surprised that you have staples at all!

    ive taken out a lot of c section staples. there are a lot. not the most fun time, but its fine. you prob dont have all that many. if they're straight they come out real easy. its the ones that are a little cock-eyed that can be more uncomfortable.

    I'm surprised u have staples too. Thought they went out with the Vietnam war. I had steri strips that fell of themselves and 1 stitch over where my drain was. At my 4 weeks visit the nurse saw it and said "uh oh" It was sposed to come out with my drain before I left the hospital! She painlessly took it out. It was starting to get on my nerves, poking me thru my clothing...

    It should be painless. Don't worry...
