I didn't have staples? I'm noit sure who's pictures you're looking at. I had internal stitches and on the outside all i had was second skin glue holding it closed. I used Dr Wellborn I've never met Dr Davis. But feel free to email me any time. LvCnqursal@aol.com

Staples


I've had both staples and glue.

I had staples when I had my daughter in October 2004 (c-section). You can barely see the staple "dots" but they aren't that bad.

Honestly I was scared because I had glue that my guts were going to fall out or open back up.. funny the things you think when you wake up from anesthesia!

Scar question-I just got banded on 11/29, and I feel great overall. I just have one incision area (right under my left breast) that is really bothering me. This one looks really painful-more of a puncture than a cut-and it hurts whenever I bend or move-is this normal? I had my doctor check them out right after I got back and he said they looked good. Is this normal?
