TomHi Stef,
The nurse who runs the program at my bariatric center started to regain her weight and knew something was wrong. She eventually got a lapband so she has both a bypass and a lapband. My surgeon says there is now a new procedure where he can go in by mouth like an EGD and make your pouch smaller so you will continue to lose weight. I think I would prefer to do that rather than get a lapband on top of bypass, but it was not available when she needed it. I can't remember what it is called at the moment but maybe check into that.

Hi Renae, Welcome. You are only about a year and a half out your sleeve should still be in good shape it takes a lot of discomfore in eating to stretch it out. Have you tried journaling all your meals, when you eat, how much protien, how many calories, fat and carb content, and portion sizes (serving recomendation on labels). Sometimes we run into bumps in the road on this journey we have chosen to take and we start going back to bad habits or grazing on foods because we are bored and not really hungry, I have been there, however my bigest stumbling block was alcohol but I could write a whole blog on that and barely touch the suface Try limiting your daily intake on calories and carbohydrate and increasing your intake on protien. I will include the following link on the 5 day pouch test but it is much like the stage one meal plan for RnY patients: http://www.americanbariatrics.org/content.php/80-Roux-en-Y-Gastric-Bypass-5-Day-Pouch-Test If you have a local support group I would also recomend going to those meetings at least once a month they can be very helpfull and they usually have wonderful meal and execise tips.
Your doing a great job on your weight loss you are down 113 ponds in a year thats great You will be back on track in no timeI hope my advice was of some help to you. Tom
