loss of appetite,fullness

I have known CAD. In Feb of 2007 I had my LAD restented-initially I had a Cypher stent for 70% of the distal LAD in 2004,in Feb because of my mostly digestive sx I had another cath which showed a 90% occlusion of my proximal LAd and severe instent restenosis,hence the Taxsus stent. In Aug of 2007 recathed because during the summer I had developed CHF- cath showed 40% occlusion of the distal 2/3 of the stent . Now I am having loss of appetite,feelings of fullness after minimal meals,5 # weight loss, and heart pounding. My cardiologist tells me he is not concerned about the 40%  occlusion in 6 months and doesn't feel my symptoms are cardiac in origin. I am on Plavix,asa,coreg,lasix,k,coreg lisinopril,zocor and k supplements. Has anybody else had sx like this and if your stent has occluded partially what is the likelihood my stent will go on to occlude again ?If i don't eat I feel better, eating really makes me feel bad. Recently he had put me on Reglan for but so far it hasn't made a difference.
Thanks
