At least, fsck will do its best to repair the defective file system.
As you have seen from the messages, you will surely lose some files
when their information gets cleared. If you use -y, fsck is allowed
to do anything it considers neccessary doing.

You could use fsck in preen mode (-p) to have less defects corrected.

If it's possible, try to backup all important data. If fsck deletes
something, you could restore it afterwards.

Your goal should be to get your file system into a consistent state
again. Worse kinds of data loss can follow.

It hurts, I know it... :-(
