How long will surgery (RNY) be a tool?

I know that our window is between 6-12 months. My question is will surgery be a tool that we will have forever or does it lose it's usefulness after time? The reason I ask is that I see a lot of posts from long term post-ops who are looking for diets. Having lived a lifetime yo-yo dieting it concerns me that if for any reason I gain back a few pounds years down the road, will it be any easier too lose then it would if I hadn't had surgery?
