When do the staples on my stomach come out? and does it hurt when they take them out?

Hey Ree. They are very tiny and never come out!

Which is good right so you don't have to stress about another procedure!

Not the staples in my stomach, the staples on my stomach, the ones I can see. In each of my incisions I have 3 or 4 staples.

Ahh apologies I misunderstood. I am really not sure sorry. I had stitches that dissolved. Can't help. Hope you recover well.

Your surgeon will probably remove them at your follow-up. At any rate you can ask at that appointment. Most of us didn't have staples in our incisions.

Mine came out yesterday at my follow-up! I was sleeved 12/16.

They did NOT hurt coming out at all! Day 8.

Have you started itching at your incisions from healing? Once the staples are out I've noticed the itchiness increased...eek!

When ever I had my Gallbladder surgery last year, I had staples on my stomach. They just took them out on the followup appointment. But mine did hurt when he was taking them out, just because I was so sore and bruised. It also just feels weird having the staples come out.

Thanks guys. I'm really freaked out by this. I too thought I was getting dissolvable stitches, but nope they are staples. I hope it doesn't hurt coming out and yes I am starting to itch around the incision areas. I hope that goes away soon too.

I had stomach staples for some procedure before (c-sec.?) and it did not hurt at all when they pulled them out.

I was expecting dura bond, but no, staples. When I asked, the surgeon said they feel the staples give a smaller, better scar. They were removed two days later before I was discharged. Steri strips were put on. Just a little owie as they were pulled out.
