How Do You Know If Your Band Is Too Tight?

[EighteenStoneGirl]

I keep reading posts from people saying their bands were too tight and they had to see a Doctor and get a de-fill.

How do you know if it's too tight though? I have a high threshold for pain, so I'm worried I might not recognise the signs and wait too long to get something done about it (I'm a little scared as a read a story about a woman whose band was too tight and she couldn't keep anything down, incl. water. She ended up waiting too long to see a Doctor and died).

I had an infill last wednesday, after the infill the nurse will ask you to sit in the waiting room and have a drink, if the drink goes down without getting stuck you are fine, if you drink and you cannot swallow then you will need a defill. Unfortunately last week I could swallow after, but by the time I had got home and having a coffee I could not swallow and everything I drank I threw up. you will know when it happens to you lol x
