Looking for non-biased information

I'm looking for some good non-biased information about how WLS affects you long-term post-op. It's not all about before and after pictures nor is it all about memorials and doom and gloom. But if I am to make an INFORMED and KNOWLEDGEABLE decision, I need information. And please don't tell me that there isn't any information about long-term post-op because this surgery is different. I know enough that this surgery is very similar to what was performed 25 years ago. What has substantially changed is the expertise and knowledge of the surgeons and their ability and attempts to educate their patients so that they are successful and can avoid as many complications as possible. But there must be SOME information in layman's terms (or even medical terms - I'll get my medical dictionary out) that will explain how altering the stomach so drastically will affect your body's functioning as you age.
