I think its universally agreed among scholars that Frodo, Sam and Gimli would have died while in Aman. For Frodo, sailing to the West was not a promise of immortality but a respite to heal his wounds and find peace. In Sam and Gimli's case, even Tolkien is dubious as to whether or not they arrived in Aman (at least, he does not say they did without a sly uncertainty, as if he got the news second-hand).
