Staple sticking out of incision
I noticed tonight (3 weeks post op) that there is a little staple sticking through my incision that is otherwise healing nicely. I know these are the internal dissolvable ones, but it is freaking me out a little and I have an extreme urge to get the tweezers and see if I can pull it out. Anyone else have this happen?

I haven't had this happen, but there was another post that reported a staple being left. If it were me, I would remove it.

 Tatiyana,
I would suggest giving your doctor a call before you do anything. Your doctor may want to see it.

Call your doctor before you try to remove it. It may be holding something together inside.
