You have fewer problems with SLDs down the road. The stomach is a bit better than trying to staple jello together, but you get the drift. If your stomach is transected, i.e., cut between rows of staples so that it's free from the pouch, the edges are better at healing than if you just have staples across the top of the stomach. Most lap RNY staplers do it automatically, these days. Pam in Niceville I was transected, and am glad I was. You have fewer problems with SLDs down
