Adverse outcomes. Long term ......... like 20-30 yrs from now

Hi all, I know that you all are going to think that i am crazy, but i came from my dentist today. He was telling me i had an infection. Well I wanted to be sure that all would be ok, if scheduled for WLS. So I was telling him why I needed to know about this infection. He really got on a trip....he tells me, that most people don't even make it for 15 to 20 years after surgery. And have i talked to my surgeon about this. He said that all post ops become malnutritioned, and that they are walking zombies, due to under nurishment (sp) Please help me out here guys... I didn't know anyone who has had the weight loss, and past the 6 year mark. Don't get me wrong, he is a good dentist, very open, and down to earth, BUT he is a dentist, and not a weight loss surgeon. Know what I mean? Please help? Thanks for your time Dani
