Advice requested

I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around what is going on with my band.  Let me take you back to November when I had my last fill.  I went through the holidays and into mid January with no restriction.  I ate, I enjoyed, I gained.  At my check up in January I got a good chewing out and no fill.  Late January, early February is when my trouble began.  I had my first stuck episode in which I threw up and learned a lesson.  Since then I have had a small amount removed.  I still have pain when eating.  Often I feel this pain after only one-three well chewed bites.  I have learned to stop and wait and sometimes it is better.  I often start to belch after the first -third bites and this goes on for 10 or more minutes.  I have been throwing up one or two times a week for the past month or so.  I had a really bad stuck episode during the past month in which I spent nearly two hours throwing up.  It was a food I had eaten the day before without any problems.  Why if I have less in my band now than in January am I having problems?  Is the pain part of being banded?  I have been xrayed and had an esophagram all with normal results.  I am chewing with a conscious effort to mush and eating slowly?  What else should I do?  I keep hydrated 64+ glasses of water a day?
Any advice you can give would be appreciated.

You may need a little more removed.  After you had some taken out did you go back to liquids for a day or two and than slowly introduce the other food.  After your major stuck episode you may have had irratation and swelling and you may not have given it a chance to return to normal. 

have you had fills under flouro or blind?
that is the question? have your doc ck how much goes thru the band when you drink....
be carefull!
