No, the staples are completely safe. The staples used in the sleeve procedure are the same as those used in a variety of other common procedures such as operations on the colon and lung, and have been used for over 50 years. Indeed, they are essential to the sleeve procedure- it would not be possible to perform the sleeve procedure without surgical stapler technology.
