C section staples

So I've been here for tomorrow will be day three at the hospital and they said I can go home but I have to get my staples from my C section removed before I leave and I'm terrified about it! Can any one else tell me if its as horrible as it sounds??!

Even with my emergency c section I didn't get staples. But, every hospital / doctor is different. But getting them removed shouldn't hurt

Why did you get staples? I've had two c sections and never needed staples & my ob's (different states ) told me they hardly do staples for c sections. I just had internal stitches and steri strips. But as for staples removal it's not painful may pinch but that's it

Getting surgical staples removed does not feel like much.
