So, how do they take the staples out? I am 18 days out, lost 15 lbs. I am healing very nicely. But, I dont see any staples. So how do they get them out?

If you don't see any staples on your belly then you don't have them. As far as getting staples out, my doctor used what looked like a long stapler remover....it didn't hurt at all.

You probably had the glue. The staples would be showing if you had them.
