Does anyone else post op almost a week or so still have their staples in? If so, are they now hurting like hell? My cuts are healing but it's like the staples have stretched my skin a little, very sore.

Ugh staples! I got lucky I'm glued and healing pretty well. However my internal staples hurt now and then. The pull and pinch!

My surgeon removed some of my staples 4 days after surgery. The rest will be removed supposedly 10 days after surgery. Yes, they hurt when I move. I do not know the logic why some are kept in and some are taken out. I still have my drain. I know the surgeon wanted the staples next to the drain to stay in to help hold the drain tube. I sure am looking forward to getting rid of that drain!

I had my surgery last Monday and I get my staples out today. If I wasn't, I would have called my doctor to take them out. They hurt, can't get comfortable and hardly sleeping. My drainage tube was out 2 days after surgery. That was starting to hurt too.

I got steri strips (taped) as well. I'd call the doctor and have him take a look at them to see if they can be removed.

I didn't have staples either. Just internal dissolvable stitches and steri-strips.

I have staples and they are completely annoying! I also have a binder and it started to feel like the staples were getting pulled when putting it on so I started covering a couple of them.... hopefully they will come out tomorrow since that is the next time I see my surgeon...

I am expecting to have my drain and my remaining staples removed this Friday. Removal of staples did not hurt. Does it hurt to have the drain removed? I'm a little nervous about that drain removal.

The drain removal doesn't hurt but it's a feeling you won't forget. Just breathe through it and it will be over in quickly.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
