I haven't experienced this but a friend of mine had something similar.  She told her dr and it turned out to be a build up of scar tissue and it had to be removed.  She's much better now.  Have you spoken to your dr?

I am 3 years post-op and food still gets stuck. The Dr. says it is because I am eating too much, even though I don't think I am. I have maintained my weight loss. Also, he encouraged me to drink when I eat (I know normally this is a BIG no-no, but food gets stuck a couple of times a week). That does help somewhat. Also, at least 90% of the time when I have to "bring food up" (aka - barf) I see that I did not chew all the food well enough and it was the big pieces of food that got stuck. :(. You would think that I would have mastered this by now, but sadly I have not. I feel your pain.....
