Anyone else had surgical clips left in their neck after surgery?

Hello,
I have surgical clips left in my neck from neck dissection and TORS surgery. I asked my surgeon about exercising (lifting weights) when I was several months post surgery and he said there are no issues with the clips being present.

I have a clip left in jugular after right neck dissection. I am only a few days out. When I had my thyroidectomy and central neck dissection, I did not have any clips. During ultrasound, the tech said the nodule resembled a clip (shape and size).
