Okay I had my surgery thursday the 25th. I had the 4 incension surgery. Im doing pretty good. I just have a question about what they used to hold my skin together. My belly button is the only thing sore. It feels like it is a poke every time i move. I cant remember what they used to close my incesion with. I know its not staples b.c I asked them after I woke up if they used thema nd they said no they said something else but im not sure what it was b.c i was still half asleep. I think there white and they feel like there plastic and there flexiable. Other then that its all healing good. I just dont know if I need to be worried about my bellybutton or not.

they used "steri-strips", commonly used to close the puncture wounds from laparscopic surgeries. And yes the soreness is normal, it should pass in another four or five days.

They either used internal sutures or the new "super glue" for skin.
