How to handle Dr. friend who is against WLS?

I have a friend who is a doctor (internal medicine) who has many reservations against wls. She cites a recent JAMA (Journal of American Medical Assoc) article that talks about the many complications and failures of wls, that many post-ops are gaining all the weight back. This site has been so helpful to me in deciding whether to go ahead and do the RNY, but I do wonder if I am not hearing from the ones who regret the surgery, either due to complications or eventual regain of the weight. I will read the JAMA article when she gives it to me, because it is important to be informed. I just wantred to know if anyone has read it or has any input.
