Has anyone had staples recently? Or any feedback to staples would be appreciated. My Ob has said he will use staples and while that worried me a little I've kept it in back of my head. But now 3 weeks out I'm getting really scared bout staples. I've had other surgery and had internal stitches and the scars are amazing...
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.
:yeahthat:

I had staples 4 weeks go. Got taken outday 5, no problems, nopain to have them taken out either.
My scar is fint and then a little raised on the right hand side (my dominant side), I'm right handed so I do everything with that side, eg: get out of bed, put my pants on etc...
