I am 3 years out I loss 106 lbs. In the last few months I have not loss a lb. I gained 1 lb in 6 weeks. I went to the doc 4 months ago my A1c was 6.8. The time before it was 6.1. This time my A1C is 8.3. My thyroid numbers have tripled in the last 4 months. I'm so depressed. I worked so hard to get this weight off and now I feel like I'm going to gain it all back. Has this happened to anyone else.

   I am so sorry for your problems, dear.  I understand why you are depressed.  I also have diabetes and thyroid problems.  I am just 10 months out of bypass and still losing and for the last 3 months have had wonderful tests.  I am very happy about that.  But I can surely sympathize with you.  I don't know if others have had the problems you're facing, but am sure they have.  
   I'd like to suggest that you take a deep breath and try to relax a bit, go to some of the forums here.  You might find help there.  Also, take yourself back 3 years and remember what you did to use your tool, your band, in the first place.  Get strict with yourself again.  Review your bariatric bible or material, if you have it.  Keep a food journal, log your blood sugar test result faithfully, and make sure you are getting your water as well as other liquids.  Reassess your exercise routine.  You might need to vamp it up or change it some.  Our bodies get used to certain exercises after a while.  Then they no longer work as well as they did in the beginning. This way, even if you don't discover where the problem lies on your own, you will have something to show your doctor that might help him find your problem.  It may be some underlieing problem that can be taken care of in short order.
  Please keep us informed of your progress.  And don't give up hope.  You worked too hard to get
rid of that 100+ lbs.  Don't give up on it now.  
  Good luck
