Are most Open RNY's transected?

I'm not transected and I was curious if most Open RNY's are transected (stomach detached). I am 9 mo. post op, have lost 97lbs., and I am hungry a lot, and I can eat more now... (no, nothing like before), but still, sometimes I feel I can eat alot, i.e. two pieces of pizza last night...usually I can only eat one. But I didn't eat all the crust. Anyway, I hope I don't have a ruptured staple line. I don't feel sick at all, I have been lucky with this surgery... no side effects at all so far. Never dump (at least no more than a nauseous feeling for a few minutes). Anyway, I was just curious if most of us RNY's are stapled or transected?
