just wondering why some ds ppl put down rny surgery?

Hi I am now a year post op from having the rny surgery, I sometimes I come across some questions of which surgery is best the ds or the rny, and I hear form some who have had the ds put down alot of ppl who have had teh rny and say that long term the rny surgery is not affective as the ds surgery, and most people gain all of their weight back within 5 years and as with the ds surgery most ppl don't gain any back at all long term, is that really true or not? I have lost around 150# so far from having the proximal rny and am very happy so far with the results, I know that you can gain a little back here or there as you get further along if you don't watch what you eat, but can you do that with the ds surgery too? I am just curious cuz I heard of some ppl getting a revision to the ds down the road. Thanks for your responses I am just curious cuz some do really bash the rny surgery, and I think it has been a god sent to me so far, I feel for those who have had problems with it but I would think you could have problems with the other surgery too. thanks again!
