I can only assume that with other things that are left in your body for some time, the tissue builds up and grows around it. The critical time for staples are the first 8 weeks. Of course, if you totally expand you stomach with too much food, you would put stress on the staple line. You would have to look hard to find people that have had trouble with their staple line - which gives me comfort to know that its not common.
