Hello lapband friends... I received my 5th fill on last Thursday April 15th.. Every since I got that fill I have been hiccuping after I eat something... and it's like my food wants to come back up, not all of it but a little... It is driving me crazy... Have any of you experienced this?

Banded April 15th 2009

I also hiccup like crazy - honestly I think I'm too tight.. its been a week now but I kind if keep sticking it out... I will likely have to go have some taken out...

I never really burp, but hiccup - YES all the time!

I only hiccup when I eat too fast. Drinking a little water is the only thing that stops them and I can feel it in my throat.

I hiccup 1-2 minutes after everytime I eat. I am at the perfect restriction right now, I have been overfilled before and that isn't pretty and if I get any taken out I won't lose. I had my doc put in .2 cc's last time and that is when the hiccups came. I just look at it as a small price to pay to losing weight =) Good luck on your journey

Same here. Hicupp all the time. Especially after I eat.

I hiccup also, although I haven't had a fill, only 4 weeks postop, but have noticed I get the hiccups more frequently, just randomly, when I'm not eating or drinking. Good Luck guys, just glad to know I'm not the only one!

I get the hiccups as I am eating and it is my indicator that I am full..so I don't eat any more after my first hiccup.

I hiccup when I eat too fast... then I realize that I am too full too, BECAUSE I ate too fast...

So I have to make sure that too many hours hasn't passed between meals... then I wont be starving, leading to eating too fast...

I do the exact same thing. It has taken the fun out of eating. That helps with all the weight loss.

I've been banded a little over a year now, April 6,2009, and got just 3.6 cc's in my 10 cc band, and I've also noticed that when I eat too fast that I get the hiccups !! I thought I was the only one and often wondered what it meant ! They don't hurt in fact it I feel better after I hiccup for a few minutes. Good luck to you guys on your journey !!
