Do all RNY's have their stomach completely separate from the pouch?

I have a dumb question. Does everyone who has the RNY procedure have their stomach completely separate from you pouch? I thought this was the case but now I am doubting myself. My surgeon completely separates them when he "fires" the staple gun. He told us at the seminar that this cuts and separates the two at the same time. Then I read somewhere the other day that it is just a line of staples. I would think this is where people would have staple line problems? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
