Transected verses not Transected...that is the question..

I've read where some say that being transected is "the only way to go". Why is this and how many surgeries are done both ways? What are the success rates or is there a difference? Does it really matter? Will the results be the same as far as weightloss goes or is it more of a possible chance of the staple line disrupting thing only? What about those who have had the stomach stapled and of those who have had it stapled and sutured? Are just staples ok...etc. Thanks!
