I recall my doctor saying something that i was not going o have staples on my stomach after surgery.. Is this possible? Or maybe it was the anesthesia lol

I had no external staples. Just some band aids I was told to take off after 5 days

He probably just meant on the outer incisions.

Sometimes they use glue to close the incisions maybe that's what he was talking about?

They used dermabond on my incisions... No outer staples... It makes recovery time shorter generally speaking...

I guess it depends on the doctor but, my doctor never mentioned we have a Staples and even though I had probably about 20 surgeries, there's only one another surgery that I had staples on… But, this one had staples. I wasn't too happy about it. It's not like I'm going to be wearing a bikini or anything but, it's just scarred I guess…

When I asked about it, they said that Staples help for drainage and watching for infection. Being that I've had a lot of problems with healing

I have rheumatoid arthritis and my immune system is shot, I guess I can't complain about the Staples… Still don't like them though…
