Hiccups after a fill!!!! OMG!!



Recommended Posts

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

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 !!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
