This happens to me too. It is my signal that i ate too much too fast. When this happens to me i gag myself (i know that sounds bad). I just gag myself until i spit up the last bite or two that i took and they stop. Sometimes ill get them a while after i eat and i think thats if somethings gets stuck passing through the stoma. I bend over and for whatever reason that helps the stuck food pass. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as my band that may have something the do with the hiccups since the diaphram is involved with both the hernia and the hiccups. I recommend slowing done your eating and stopping eating as soon as u first feel pressure or that first hiccup. One more bite will set them painfully off.

I get hiccups and I burp a lot more now that I'm banded. It's not just while eating or after eating. However, I don't recommend gagging yourself though...

I get hiccups when I eat too fast. I think I trap air under the food and it does not have time to come back up before the next bite if I am eating too fast. Once I get them, I have to sit without eating or walk around for a while to let that food settle before I can eat any more. If I am really hungry, it can happen on the first bite or two if I swallow fast so it is not a sign I am full. It is painful. :confused:

I often get hiccups when I have the first bite of meat. Other things don't cause them much. They can be embarassing and annoying. They usually don't last over 3 minutes, then pass.

I was wondering what the pain was - so I guess I have been eating to fast. I just got a fill last week and I am not use to having to take teeny bites or taking forever just to eat.

I find I can eat a bit faster after the first bite goes down and is settled. It is the first bite or two for me that make the difference. Once I get get that pain, though, it continues to be tender and I have to eat really slowly the whole meal.

I get them almost every other day. It is my cue drop everything, I've had enough.

They don't last long. Maybe 5 minutes or so.

i get horrible hiccups. like I feel em coming up slowly and they are deep/hard. I dont know why though because I am on all liquids still and theres no way I am eating too much or too fast because I follow the 2 oz every 15 minute rule and i drink slowly and usually am not even able to finish the 2 oz bc the hiccups are just so annoying and painful. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and was considering maybe that had something to do with it. I hope this isnt a regular thing.

Same here. They are real loud and hurt like crazy. I am off work for the summer, but am worried about going back and having this problem. It is after every meal. I have discovered I usually don't get them after eating mexican. How weird. Anyone have any suggestions????

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
