Medicine causing weight gain, will surgery help??

I have gained so much weight in the past 4 months due to the medicine I take for fibromyalga (sp?). My regular doctor is in the process of referring me to a surgeon to discuss bariatric surgery. The medicine I take makes me hungry all the time. Will surgery actually help me in this instance? Right now I'm considering the gastric sleeve. Please give me your opinions.
 
Before my Gastric Bypass I looked at food and gained weight. After my Bypass I lost 200 lb in 15 months. I followed my surgeon's instructions to the letter and the weight melted away easily. I was never hungry but my surgeon gave me a 2 ounce new stomach. Doesn't take much food to fill up full.
