I see people mention 'having the staples out' after a c-section
all the time on this group, and I'm so confused about it because I
had two c-sections, and I never had staples...both times I had
stitches that were self-dissolving. Whats the difference?

And I had neither, I had one running stitch with a bead at each end
(consequently I have a bead-shaped dent at one end of the scar and a
raised bit at the other, as the skin tightened around the stitch which
was left in a day too long).
