Why do you have to re-format it? Next time, I hope you can learn to back up everything important of your camera memory card on a different drive or location before you begin to format it. But, right now, you can try my ways to see whether all your lost pictures could be restored:
Step1. Stop using this camera memory card in case that any new file would rewrite your original photos.
Step2. Insert this camera memory card to your computer and prepare to restore your photos.
Step3. Download a memory card photo recovery freeware to your computer and start to retrieve all your deleted photos back:

In fact, this freeware has ever successfully saved all the inaccessible data of my friend off from his camera memory card. So, I believe it can also work successfully on your memory card, too.
Simply read more information of this freeware here:

Step4. Save and back up all the restored photos on a different memory card or drive in case of data recovery failure.
You mean your flash card was? Try Lexar's tools for fixing things; often an old well-used card will end up with errors, and there have long been tools to recover flash images and otherwise unformat, as long as it was not too thorough a reformatting. Meanwhile, do nothing on that flash card! Just replace it with another SDHC card and shoot on that, leaving the recovery to be done on a computer once you have the tool running.
