Yes I found out about my staples when I had to have a chest xray for a stubborn cough. When I mentioned it to the surgeon, she kind of just said yes they are there but they won't give you any problems. It was no big deal to her, but I think something like that should be mentioned, after all, it is my body and I should know exactly what has been done to it. I have been through metal detectors at the airport since then with no trouble though!
