Can you ever research TOO much?!

I went to my first support mtg today and think I've experienced 'tunnel vision', as was mentioned today in the mtg. I've been aware of some of the 'side effects' of the surgery, but have had the attitude/hope that nothing serious would happen to me. It never does, right? I guess my question is, is there EVER a time when you can sit back and enjoy the success of the surgery, or could you still have complications, 5+ years down the road? Also, I've read that there is a bacteria produced in the small intestine that is usually expelled through your BM's. Since it's not attatched anymore it has nowhere to go, and build up of the bacteria can end up causing long term damage to your immune system. Is this true, or are people on the Internet just trying to scare us pre-ops? Please post answers or email...Thank you
