What % of WLS Post Ops actually keep their weight off after 5 years?

I'm having my surgery (open RNY) on December 12th. A friend has asked me if I knew what percentage of Post Ops have kept their weight off 5 years after surgery. I've been on so many diets, lost weight and gained it back within a year or two, that it's scary to think this could happen. Hopefully, after having this surgery I will have learned to slow down my eating, exercise more and choose healthier foods. Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
