I need to know what to do next regarding my RNY failing

I had the surgery in 7/99, I had a hell of a time losing any weight and finally lost in the last couple of months of 99 the nearly 50 lbs, for a total of 85 lbs. Had to have a subsequent surgery for a small bowel obstruction in 12/99 and lost 10 lbs more. Stayed at that loss until 9/02 approx. I noticed I had gained 10 lbs as much as 15 but fluxuated. I have noticed a steady increase in HUNGER and gaining of weight. I had to have a contrast scan because they didnt know whether I had a hernia even tho part of my belly stuck WAY OUT. Anyhow the results were as follows, 1) 5 hernias, 2) a mass on the adrenal gland above the right kidney, 3) the stapled area has a section that has reopened. Doc tells me this and this is why I am hungry and why I have gained a few lbs. Now what is to be done, she said she doesn't know since she isn't the specialist. I am no awaiting to see the specialist but I want to have information in hand when I go to share. I have found SOMETIMES these docs need some further information. So anyone who has information I would truly appreciate it.
