Removed mine on Monday. It was a little bit uncomfortable, and one had gotten a little bit stuck. Hurt for a second, literally. And oh my what a feeling to have them out - amazing!

Oh wow.....I had stitches. I had 3 incisions, one had 3 stitches, another one had 6 stitches, and the last one just had 1 stitch. I had my surgery on the 19 and I took the stitches out on Wednesday. So 6 days after surgery. They told me to wait 10-12 days, but the incisions were healing up really nice. It doesn't hurt at all, (I've also had C-section so I know) it's actually a relief from the tightness of those staples. You will be fine. Good luck!

I've been wondering the same thing. I have 21 staples/6 insicions and going Tuesday to have them removed.
