does every Dr. transect the stomach because of limited space?

Hi everyone! I have just found out the my Dr. that will be performing the lap RNY transects your stomache because of the limited space he has to work with. That the stomache sits in two different pieces. ( if your reading this Cheryl, hope I am explaining it right!) I'm having a hard time visualizing and I'm wondering if other Dr's performing the lap are doing this the same way. Is this is a routine Lap or just MY Dr. that does it that way?
