There is always risk of data loss. So before you update the table type, make a backup. So whatever happens, you are safe (at least more safer than losing data).

Make a dump of the table data only. Then change the field type, in case of data lose you can restore easily.
mysqldump --no-create-info --complete-insert <db> <table>
