What is the name of your state? Georgia
Is it possible to ever get a new judge when you are appealing? Our judge has been both degrating and irrational and has threatened us with jail if we step foot in her court room, not for the crime just because she wants to.What is the name of your state?

When you appeal, it goes to a different judge.

But doesn't it then go right back to the original judge to ammend sentencing
Yes, it may be possible that it goes back to the same judge BUT the court of appeals tells the lower court judge what to do; the lower court judge has to follow what the court of appeals tells it to do.
