transected pouch or non-transection--is one better than the other??

I saw my surgeon for a preop consultation and he told me that now he transects the stomach and separates it from the pouch. He is planning about an 80cm bypass--I am 245lbs and am 5'6", with numerous health issues. My question is do you stand a better chance of success if your transected, non-transected or what?? The transected part concerns me a little because it would seem a little easier to get a leak. My surgery is Monday, any answers would be greatly appreciated--what did you have done and how are you feeling??? Thanks:)
