Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 DON'T try pulling them out without the tool. I tried pliers, hemostats, and tweezers. Ouch. Then I got the tool, and they came right out in less than a minute! It was so easy, I couldn't believe it. And it didn't hurt at all. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 You've got them inside. That's what they use to seal up the two parts of the stomach before they separate the pouch from the stomach. No, they don't need to be removed. You don't need to even think about them, so you don't need to try to figure out which of the staple removers at Office Max will be needed. -- Eleanor Oster eleanor@...
