Weight Gain..? for Longterm Post-op..

I have read just about every journal entry on OH. I am seeing that there are quite a few people that are regaining their weight back. I am in the pre-op phase....but was quite curious about the long term post ops on here. I understand this surgery is a tool. It seems ....to me...by reading some journals on here, that it doesnt take too long to start gaining the weight back...like we all do when we diet. You lose it...then slowly gain it back and then some...is this tool the same as atkins...slimfast...xendarine??? Are we really putting ourselves thru all of this just for a couple years of pure joy? I know I've read that you must obey all the post op rules..diets..water..protein..but ..If we follow the rules to any diet we will succeed also..right? We are only human, so we will stray from the "diet" occasionally I am sure. so with all of that said..I am wondering what percentage of WLS patients have gained their weight back....and what percentage have maintained their weight loss. I am still so excited to get my surgery in Jan. Any info would be great! Thanks!
