staples
Does anyone know how long you can leave staples in safetly after surgery. I had my appendix removed and my father in law just died and I need to fly to his funeral. I am gonna miss my after surgery appt to remove them right away. I will go when I get back however. Should I go to the emergency room before I leave or will another week matter????????????????????

Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
There are so many possible factors, that even if we were doctors, which we aren't, nobody here could give you a definite answer.
The best option is to call your doctor and ask. If you can't do that for some reason, and you have another doctor you can talk with, that would be second best.
Optionally, you could find a doctor at your destination who could remove them for you.
Before you go, however, you should really check with your doctor to be sure you can fly at all. Air travel can be very hard on the body.
I am sorry for your loss.
