Does anyone have statistics of what percentage gain their weight back after GBS?

I know that 5 of us at work have had the WLS and ALL of us have had weight gain from moderate to excessive. I never had a problem with weight for the first 6 years after surgery (was a size 2-4 - down 150 pounds to 128)- have been active and on the same food since day one, but the weight keeps coming on. It's ridiculous how hard it is to loose, as bad as before the surgery, if not worse. I'm interested in knowing how many people are at (or within 20 pounds of) goal weight 10 years from surgery date.
