I 've seen two doctors--one transects the stomach, one only staples, which is better?

I'm confused. The first doctor wants to staple, cut, and then sew. The second said that if the stomach is completely seperated, if it leaks, it could kill you, but if it's stapled, the worst is you'll gain weight. Help!
