I feel like a traitor to my procedure for posting this, heh, but I feel like newbies researching which surgery is right for them need to see this.

At one year out from a laparoscopic VSG, patients had lost 76.8% of their excess weight. At 3 years they were maintaining 69.7% of their excess weight lost, and at 5 years only 56.1%.
In regards Type 2 diabetes, 50.7% saw complete remission in the first year, while only 38.2% maintained complete remission at 3 years out, and only 20.0% maintained it at 5 years out.

Conclusions and Relevance: Undergoing LSG induced efficient weight loss and a major improvement in obesity-related comorbidities, with mostly no correlation to percentage of excess weight loss. There was a significant weight regain and a decrease in remission rates of diabetes and, to a lesser extent, other comorbidities over time.
