Need honest support - RNY post-op life and health issues.

Hi. I am 9 days post-op from LAP RNY. I am happy with my decision overall, besides the pain and gas from the procedure which i know will go away :) I researched this procedure for a year now and have gotten a great deal of support from my family and friends. i am 22 yrs old, 5'2 and 250LBS. My concern is from reading things currently about everything in the future, i know there is not much certainty and it is hard to tell, but i would like to ask my fellow AMOS friends, are you content with your decision? Sorry if this seems repetative. . . although you may only live 15 more years (whether that is BS or not?) whether you may have liver damage? and other complications? It does worry me, i am young and have not started my own family yet, but at the same time i have to think that i have tried all i can to lose weight, and i know this was my last resort. ANy input would be helpful, thanks so much!!
