Will this surgery shorten my life?

My sister is in the heath care field and says that the doctors she works with say that after the RNY, I will be sick and die by 55. Well, I'm in pain every day and I'm sure obesity will shorten my life. However, the women in my family live very long lives even with obesity. I really want to see my grandchilden grow up. I'm 33 years old and don't want to face only having 20years left.
