I was told by my doctor that I do have staples. He said they were titanium staples which remain in place and with time tissue would grow over them. The staples are really small..according to the bypass video. Lots of people have different surgeries (hip, knee replacements) where they have things replaced with metal. As far as warning signs: fever & an unusual heart rate is what I was told to look for.
