What is there about this surgery that can give me hope I can KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF?

I have dieted off and on my whole life. I currently weigh 372#. I know a lot of people who have had the proximal RNY. Some have kept their weight off, others...not so much. My concern is, since I have NEVER been successful, in 49 years keeping it off, what is there about this surgery that gives me hope I will be able to keep it off 10 years later? I really don't WANT to have my guts rearranged for the rest of my life and STILL be fat. Thanks! connie
