How does one know if their band is too tight? Or too loose?

You know if your band is too tight if you get stuck..bp/slime easily which typically leads to vomitting..bp is like productive burp which its like a mixture between a burp and bring food back up in your mouth.you will typically experience that from eating too fast or if your band is too tight..sliming is when you basically produce a lot of saliva and mucous..its kinda gross...If it is too loose than you can typically consume a large amount of food and foods will go down easily..I hope this helps..

I think you can also tell if your band is too loose based on how long you stay satisfied between meals. 

If you eat a healthy properly portioned meal and are hungry 1-2 hours later, you need a fill.

I can eat a bit and then about 4 hours later I am getting a bit hungry..

That sounds about right.  If it were too loose, you would get hungry before that.
