Is my band too tight?

I see a lot of comments about being too tight so I thought I would share my story.
I had a fill on Wednesday. I told my Dr. that I was getting frustrated with how slowly the weight is coming off. I think he assumed that meant I wanted to be a lot tighter. Well, I left the clinic feeling fine. I was miserable later. I kept telling myself that it was just tight for the first day or so and that it would be better. But Thursday, after only being able to sip a couple sips of Water total I asked my Doctor how long before I was back to normal.... I knew something was up, I was having the gurgling noises after just swallowing my own spit.
Listen to what your body is telling you. You know if you are too tight.
This morning I went in and he took out half of what he put in just two days ago and what a difference! Granted it was a nice to lose 7.5 lbs in two days but I realize it was all water.
Happy to be on track again.
That band is a tool... listen to what it is telling you.
