Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I am just wondering something. When they do the RNY and resection the two stomachs and reattach the intestines and they staple them up do the staples remain in you for the rest of your life? If so, how do they keep them from rusting? Does this mean that they will show up on x-rays and stuff in the future? Just wondering! Thanks!
