So give me the scoop about staples.



Recommended Posts

I'm two days post-op - finally to where I can shower and redress my wounds. I'm looking at these staples and they're creeping me out - I've made a follow-up appointment with the doctor to have them out. I'm thinking this is going to hurt seriously bad. Can anybody tell me what their experience was like? :confused2:

I am not banded yet.. but, I have had a C-section and had staples then.. I was also scared.. They dont hurt at all coming out.. They do burn.. burn like you start sweating a little bit but, no pain.I am guessing that you only have a few in the port area.. I had about 10 across.. so if you only have about 2 to 4 you might not even feel the burn till after its over. I felt the burn once the 3rd one came out and the burn stoped after because he wiped it down.

They have a special cutting tool for them to cut them in half and then they just slide right out. No pain no worries..

I have had many surgeries.. and the best looking scar I have is the c section one and I think its because of the staples.. not sure if that is true for everyone..but, I think the staples holds the cut better and it heals so much nicer. So you should feel good about the staples.:thumbup:

I've had staples from four different surgeries. It's not painful to have them removed. I don't recall any burning but to recall a small pinch when a couple were removed.

I got superglued for my lap band, but had staples with my c-sections. Didn't hurt. Pinched some but not painful. Just don't look :blink:I always turn my head whenever things like that are being done. Somehow makes it hurt less lol:redface:

LOL,, they are creep looking. I have had over 100 of them put in and taken out.. it really doesn't hurt, the tape they used hurt sooo much more and caused a blistering infection on two different occasions..

When the doc removed them from my leg he said "NOW YOU KNOW HOW A PIECE OF PAPER FEELS" .. WEIRDO...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
