The surgeon I am going to have does a double roll of staples on his pts but does not

use stitches also. (Of course) I AM NOT A SURGEON, ***but*** wouldn't it be better to use staples AND stitches? I am just concerned that in the old days some pts DID'NT pig out and their staples came out and they regained the weight. I know some people DID overeat and this is what caused their staples to come out, and the weight regain. I would like to know what you all think, and also did any of your surgeons JUST use double roll of staples instead of both? Will my surgery still be successfull if I follow all the proper guidelines? Thanks in advance for all answers. P.S. I asked him if a staple came out later (on our insides) after surgery, would this cause any damage to our insides and he said no, and looked at me like I was nuts. This didn't make sense to me either. Any comments would be great.
