need to know what adverse of the Bypass and Duodenal switch surgeries!!!

I know all the perks, but I am so worried about the things that are going to make me feel "buyers remorse" post-op and lifelong....some examples of things I have heard are.... gastric bypass - has a higher rate of regain, adverse reactions to certain foods post-op. both require taking alot of pills (vitamins and minerals) DS- I'vd heard has terrible bowel smell that never goes away, I have been attending the surgeons support group for one whole year now!!! I hear all the glory stories of the surgeries, but I'm curious about those of you who do not attend the meetings and why? Are you having health issues? If so, what are they? Are you feeling like the suport groups are a waste of time?
