Isn't anyone here concerned that there are no studies to show long-term risks?

I have been researching the long-term effects on a persons life after surgery and have found nothing to comfort me in the fact that 5, 10, or even 20 years down the road I could die of a leak or an obsruction. All I have found is that long-term studies are absent! I have however found plenty that states that even if a person survives the surgery itself, one could die at anytime later in life, AND it is not counted as a WLS death because it happens so much later! Doesn't this scare the hell out of you?
