Becoming nervous about lap RNY. Need to hear from long term post ops.

I always see questions on here about "let's hear about people not happy with wls." But no one ever really responds. I found a site online and I was shocked at the personal stories of complications from the RNY. No one ever told me these things could happen. The doctor sure didn't mention it. <br> <br> I guess I'm getting cold feet about doing the RNY. They talk about malabsorbtion, kidney failure in long term, adhesions...etc... This site does mention the new adjustable band where you get "fills" and it says it is reversible (ok the docs will say the RNY is reversible, but good luck at finding a surgeon to take you). <br> <br> I guess I just need to hear from those long term post ops. I need to hear that everything is ok. And if it isn't, what problems do you have? No matter how trivial or gross, I want to know. I can't make an informed decision without knowing what COULD happen, even if just a small % chance.
