| Big Loser |  Here is a stupid one I can only wear 14K or 24K gold in my ears, even surgical steel cause them to get icky and infected. That isn't gonna happen with surgical staples, is it? Yeah, I know, wait 6 months until I see a surgeon and ask. But I want to know NOW!!!  |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Rachael & Vickie...I had about 3-4 staples in each little incision. They were no problem at all and I was TERRIFIED when they came at me with the "decleater" to remove them! But I didnt really feel anything but a sudden urge to want to scratch the area. |

| Super Moderator  | It depends on what the material of the staples are. I'm not a surgeon, so I'm not exactly up to the latest, but I thought the more recent ones are low stimulus, and titanium ones are around that are less of an allergen. With alloys, it's usually the nickel that causes trouble. Also, it might be that you are allergic to latex, so you end up having reactions to the residue of latex that is left on whatever after being handled by latex-gloved hands. In any case, let your surgeon know the issues you have with metals, and he'll see to it.

| Big Loser | Thanks everyone. I had forgotten I even asked this. Yeah, I was concerned about the staples on the inside and yes, I'm definitely allergic to nickle - and the tape does a number on me too. But I'm not allergic to latex. Anyway, this was just one of those weird thoughts that ran through my head. Didn't want a bunch of little staples getting angry inside of me! Wow! I didn't know there were so many people who couldn't wear earrings! |
