Does food sit in the small pouch until it turns into a liquid?

I have a question that I do not think is a repeat but if it is somewhere on this board I apoligize.

I understand how the band is placed but I do not understand how food can go into the pouch and lay over the stoma but can get stuck at times. I am not getting full so I assume my stoma is open too much. However, I do get food stuck often. Two to Four times a week at least. I have never gotten full yet. I am a little over 4 months out, 3 fills so far, 7.5 cc's in a larger band that I have yet to find out the size.

Also, does the food stay in the small pouch until the stomach turns it into a liquid then proceeds to the larger stomach?

I am so sorry if this has been answered.
