Long term statistics on weight maintenance?

[LoveMatilda 5]

I know this is something I want to do, but I'm nervous about the long term weight gain I have heard about. Is there information to read up on? I eat pretty intuitively/healthy now after a lifetime of yoyo dieting, but I don't want to undergo major surgery just to keep yoyo'ing. How is weight set point factored in with this surgery? Are their consequences to bariatric restriction like there are with dieting?

Here's a good video on the subject:

Doctor says I should be loosing more and I strayed for awhile when I was able to eat more foods but started getting back to protein and shakes and my weight is going back down slowly. We didn't gain it overnight so I don't expect to lose it overnight, I'm active about 3 or 4 days a week, exercising at the gym or alot of yard work at least 3 hours or more
