Does a revision that is not trasected work as well?

I got to see the surgeon this Last Tuesday, because I have had the old fashioned stapling in 1981 (22 yrs ago) The surgeon feels it is best to not transect the stomach but to make a small pouch and resection the Bowel, The surgeon has came highly recommended, I like him, and I trust him completely, But I am looking for anyone who has had this old type surgery in the past that has had the new RNY done. Did they do the transected? no? if not how has your weight loss been doing and how long has it been since it was done? I have promised myself that given this chance to have the surgery again that I will not do anything to jepordize it in anyway on purpose. I am just worried that if it didnt keep the first time it wont keep the second. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?
