How do you know if your band is too tight?

I had the realize band 12-09, I have lost about 58 lbs. The past 3mo, I have had problems with my fills. The dr filled band to 11cc/11 cc band. He sd just to show me how it felt to be full. I supposedly already had 9cc. I got really sick and couldnt drink water so I know it was to full. all the water just came back up, he had to come in and take out 1cc at a time till all was bk out to 9cc. Then the next visit he put in 1/2 cc and sd we would do that until I felt restriction, but he had written down that made me only 1/2 cc's, so I ask the nurse about it this time and she told me to talk to the dr about it, I did and he sd you never know about these bands. He then put in another fill of 1 cc. I drank a cup of water with no problem in his office before I left, but later on after I left his office, I took a small bite of food and threw it up and everything I drank. I know I was not to eat anything for 48hrs. I shouldnt have tried it. Anyway now it is trial and error if I can eat or drink, sometimes I can eat a cup of food no problems other times I can drink something and feel pain in my throat and throw up foamie. Does anyone know if this would mean it was too tight or something else. I am about 52 hrs out from fill? Please help!!!
