wow - i didn't think they still used staples...
I had staples too! It's the OB's personal preference as to what they use. (Apparently staples lessen the risk of infection) I didn't like the thought of them either but they were awesome. They were removed after 4 days and a steri strip placed over the scar which I had to leave on for another 7-10 days. The scar is barely visible. Though i too have to lift up the overhang (I prefer to call it a stoodgey belly) to see it.
