Question for those of you who have had the surgery - does it affect your ability to have a MRI?

I ask this because I have a collapsed disc in my spine (among other morbid obesity issues), for which I need to have periodic MRIs done. Do the staples used in gastric sleeve interfere with an MRI and mean I could never have another one?

I asked the same question. I was told my sleeve would have no bearing on getting an MRI.

Staples are titanium and do not interfere with MRI. Same with most any other hardware you have surgically implanted (knees, hips, etc.). I've got a plate and four screws in my neck and it's fine for MRI, CT, airport security, etc.

Thank you!

I've had an MRI post surgery. I simply told the tech before hand, there was no problem.

I'm an MRI tech, so this was a really important question for me!!! The staples are titanium, and have no bearing on your MRI at all!!
