Ok maybe it's a dumb question but what happens to the staples after some time of getting the band?

Do you mean the sleeve? I wasn't aware there were any staples used during a LapBand.

The staples are permanent in a sleeve procedure. Eventually the stomach heals over them, but they'll always be in there. They use surgical steel which does not set of metal detectors. I've flown several times and have had no issues going through security.

The staples stay with you forever. It works well.

They are made to be essentially inert to the body. No allergies or concerns that I have seen in the literature with them. The staple line can break, but it is not common if you follow your plan properly.
