What is the percentage of people who get staple revisions?

I had my WLS 18 months ago and have done great! However, I am eating more than I think I should. My volumes and old behaviors are getting out of hand. When I eat my abdomen sometimes gets really distended but no pain. Is staple revision common? Can it occur at any time or the longer you go the less likely it will happen? I heard this is a very risky surgery, more so than the open RNY due to the internal scar adhesions. I have a terrible fear this could have happen. Does anyone have information about this? Thanks, Donna
