How long does it take food after swallowing to get to your stomach?

It feels like food is just sitting there in the middle after swallowing even though I'm chewing and eating slow. I either get chest pain or end up vomiting for relief. I know it takes approx. 30 minutes for food to clear the stomach, but was wondering if food from another meal could still be sitting there. 5/28/03 - Open RNY
