Surgery March 5th

So my date is set, and my big worry is how is this going to effect me 10, 20, 30 years from now. Is there going to be a commercial 5 yrs from now saying "did you or someone you know have gastric sleeve surgery?" "call us lawyers to get help". Stupid i know. I'm scared and excited at the same time. I want this, but dont at the same time. Maybe i wish there was more long term info on the sleeve. Just a worry wart I guess.
