Are you eating 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food total per meal and stopping when it's gone even if you're still hungry? Are you making good food choices and getting in all of your protein? Do you count calories?
Have you had fills? Do you have restriction? All these things will greatly effect weight loss.
I suspect there is nothing wrong with your band but rather you may have to make some changes to your eating habits.

If you are taking tiny bites and chewing thoroughly yet can't keep anything down, you're too tight and you need a slight unfill. Having a band too tight can lead to a slip and not something to mess with. I'd definitely meet with your surgeon sooner than later.
The band should not be miserable and throwing up isn't normal. Good luck

Unfortunately, the cost is a risk you took in getting the surgery. Who would pay for the removal if not you?
Most banded folks find that after awhile, the pain of eating certain food outweighs eating the food and they choose not to eat it.

That's awesome!! I agree, it sounds like you're differently very close. I'd stick to small fills from here out because I have feeling you could jump the Green Zone into too tight very easily because you are so close.

If you are self pay, co-morbidity are irrelevant. I would see a new surgeon immediately, get all your pre-op testing sent over to their office so you don't have to do it again, then go from there.

I know this will sound contradictory to weight loss, but have you considered raising your calories just 100-200 a day? I know it doesn't make sense, but I was slowing down and read about how the body actually DOES need some carbs to kick start it into weight loss sometimes. So, I allowed myself more carbs for a week increased my calories by 200, and shock of shocks, I lost 8 pounds that week. I went back to my normal routine the following week, and lost another 4 pounds. Perhaps it could help you off your plateau, too.

You're not supposed to have problems swallowing or problems eating bread, rice, and pasta. True some do, but that isn't a sign of not being tight enough. Many have good restriction and can still eat about anything- just smaller portions.
I would suggest keeping a food journal so you can see exactly what you're eating and how much. This way you'll be able to see if maybe you're consuming too much carbs or fat. You can eat tiny amounts of food and still not lose weight if the food you're eating isn't good for you. This should help you to figure out if you need a fill, or possibly a change in diet.
You may want to bring the journal to your nutritionist for pointers, too.
