I also have lapband since 2010 starting weight 248. went down to 215. had feel taken out a year ago. stopped smoking in march 2013 and then found out I had over active thyroid and gained 60lbs. NOW I am doing Ideal Protein.
I looked into a revision but I could not bring myself to spend what the surgeon wanted.
Good luck with everything and just know your not alone.
