HAS ANYONES THROAT EVER SOUND LIKE A CROKER FISH WHEN YOU EAT

I had the lapband last july. I started out at 206 LBS and am at 188 now. I wanted it to come off slow but not this slow. I have had 4 fills with no noticable restriction until the last one in November. The result from the last fill is that I can eat quite a bit of the soft foods like beans & rice etc with no feeling of fullness at all, my pouch doesn't seem to be there. I have to limit myself and use my will power. The tool that helps me from eating is the pain when I eat other things that have to be chewed very well. I know the pain is from the food because it doesn't happen with very soft food. I am eating right and I chew well, if I don't I pay with pain. It feels like it is in my ephosogus and that is when I can hear it trying to go down and noise like a croker fish comes out of my throat. I'm guessing I don't need another fill but I don't feel restriction (fullness) just the pain. Has anyone else had this experience. Thank you all in advance for your help. Mayrose
