Long Term, Not Transected, open RNY. Will I have problems long term?

I had my surgery in 2002. My pouch was not transected. I haven't had any problems, but I have read about others who have had their staples come undone or loose, long term post op. I can't find any info on this anywhere. Thanks for your help.
