Can I request dissolveable staples?
A sister mentioned dissolveable staples. I have never heard of such a thing, however they sound great. I do not look forward to having the staple removed, but maybe I can request these????

I do not know if you can request the type of staples your dr will use, but you can sure ask! It may depend on the dr's preference, or what the hospital offers.

Having my staples removed honestly did not hurt...maybe because I took some pain pills before (anticipating some pain) had something to do with it. I had mine out 5 days post op. I hear that waiting too long might hurt more because they tend to seat themselves. I guess that'd be the best way to describe it.

Can I request dissolveable staples?
I live an hr away from my hosp, and I'm so glad dr used dermabond(glue) instead of staples. The glue was alot more comfy than staples. When i had staples for my c-sections they always felt so annoying and itchy.
I actually just peeled my glue off yesterday.
Doesn't hurt to request/ask. I did alot of that, and dr told me he liked having patients that knew what to ask for!

It would be interesting to ask your doctor...I had my staples out in three days, before I left the hospital...didn't feel a thing!
Blessings to you,

I just had a TAH and staples weren't used. I have dissolvable stitches so nothing has to be taken out. In fact, I can only see one stitch at the end of the incision. Not all docs use staples, so be sure to ask.

My staples were taken out on day 2 -- right before I went home. Didn't feel a thing!! I think the key may be to get them out sooner than later!

Can I request dissolveable staples?
I am most definately going to ask about the glue also. The last experience I had was a 1990 C-section and a 1986 C-section and a lot has changed. Silly as it sounds since I was cut open already, I hated getting the staples removed.
geoD.... I would watch that incision site carefully. I was in the hospital for the first C-section for five days and the second time a more normal two days. I ended up getting a nasty infection at the incision site the second time because (I think anyway) the staples were removed so much sooner than the first time. It wasn't right at first either so watch that.
