Question regarding hiccups?
SOrry for this silly question but what happends when you get hiccups? I have not been banded yet in till Dec but i keep reading people that post they had hiccups and they get what? What does that mean I want to be well informed so when I get banded i could know what is going on.. How does it feel when food gets stuck do you feel like you are chocking?
