The first part of weight loss is learning to eat better, and to eat less. Also Bariatric surgery is recommended but any operation end up changing what they eat, how they eat. Some different bariatric surgery you can find and that will be decided after a consultation with a doctor but before that, you should do research with changing your old habit and exercise. Also the surgery will be a next step for the rest of your life.

Gastric bypass is a kind of  weight loss procedure but  a sleeve gastrectomy may be better. Because it saves the potential long-term complications associated with gastric bypass. In any case, you should see a bariatric surgeon first for evaluation but lifestyle changes including a healthy diet and daily exercise make an important role to maintain weight loss following bariatric surgery.

Sorry to hear that but sounds like the band is not working properly with acid reflux. Recommended sleeve gastrectomy or bypass with band removal.

No after pregnant, the band will be empty and no problems to keep pregnant. After you have a baby, a doctor start adjustment again to loose weight.

That will be better to get a bariateic surgery and a plastic surgery afterward. You can expect sagging skin with massive weight loss.
