What percentage of people gain weight back?

I am almost 4 months post op R-N-Y. A friend from Germany told me that in her research (in Germany) she was told that Gastric Bypass had an 80% rate of people gaining their weight back. I did not believe this to be true. (She has the band) Reading the boards here I do see many messages of weight gain. Does anyone know if the true statistics are somewhere? I am happy with my results so far. I was 246 the day of surgery and am 198 right now.
