What is the diff? Transection vs, Stapling

what is the difference between being transected vs.stapled-and is your stomach still stapled if you have a transection. I am confused-I am open RNY, but really don;t know much more than that-what questions should I ask my surgeon to find out more info on what was done to me? And if I was stapled -can I still be transected now or only if a problem occurs?I am now worried about SLD later on post-op
