Does the stapling have to be so dramatic? Can the pouch be left larger?

I have read where so many people throw up after surgery because the stomach pouch that is left can only hold like a tablespoon of food at a time. Could it not be left larger & spare the person so much physical endurance. I know that it will expand again but goodness maybe the Drs need to think of the patients comfort to.
