Staples Come Out Today...YIKES!
OK...I know it's been discussed, but I am a bit nervous about my doctor's appointment today. My staples are being removed at 2pm...I can't help but think once they are gone, my stomach will easily pop open! LOL. I know it won't, but it's making me a bit scared. Also, not looking forward to the actual removal of the staples. (there are like 20 of them) OUCH!

Yikes....
Just make sure to follow your Dr instructions to the T after your appt. And make sure to take it easy and not over do it, you don't want to risk an open incision if you can help it
Good Luck to you today, please let us know how it goes.

Re: Staples Come Out Today...YIKES!
I had over 20 staples as well, but it was a huge relief to get them out. It's not a bad procedure, a nurse did mine, I only felt a couple of them as she took them out, not too bad. Then she put steri strips (tape) over the incision, so that helped with the feeling that anything would pop open, those stayed on for another week then started falling off. Your incision is sewed up in several layers inside as well. Don't worry, you will feel much better without the staples.
