    I think she means to her stomach - Yes they stay in for life and get covered up by your body as you heal

    Yes, that's correct. There's also usually sutures over the staple line.

    yes. Surgeons leave staples in with a lot of types of surgeries - not just bariatric. They're made of titanium and won't hurt you. I have some from my plastic surgery, too (in my abdomen)

    Not a fetish, stitches can hurt when removed staples do not hurt. I had visions of a staple remover that one uses on paper and was scared when I had to go in. I was thrilled when there was no pain.

    yes. They're made of titantium. I've had four MRI's since surgery (three were for research studies I was in)
