Why will RNY work better than optifast for me? Or will it?!!?

I am just finishing up a 12 week required optifast program (required by my insurance since I didn't have 12 week documented weight loss attempt). I lost about 24 pounds on the fasting part (started at 250), but have struggled immensely during transition to food. The program isn't bad -- it now has losts of nutrition and emotional support, but I already knew all of that stuff anyway. I guess I am unsure how I will do with wls if I am back to my old habits now after only 12 weeks. Does the surgery alter the hormone that regulates satiety/cravings? Anyone out there ever failed at optifast but did ok with wls? Thanks for your input.
