A neuter is much less invasive than a spay which is major abdominal surgery, and there are no stiches.
Most importantly the anesthesia is much shorter. A neuter only takes the vet a few minutes versus up to 30 minutes for a spay.
Also, most vets will give pain medication, usually butorphanol for a few days afterwards as well.
As far as weight gain after a spay, I feed a low calorie cat food, and try to play with me cat everyday to keep her lean.
Good luck!
