Ouch! That's all I have to say.

for me that's a sure sign that I've forgotten to take my Pepcid. Are you still on that? I don't know how long we're supposed to take it post-op but I'm just 2 weeks out and don't know what I'd do without it!

Hm, I haven't been prescribed pepcid. I haven't had any trouble with heartburn either, and I don't have any history of reflux.

I think it was because I ate too much, too fast. I was eating a Soup that was quite thin. I made a 1/2 cup, and I thought I ate it slow. About 10 minutes after I ate I started feeling really bad, and am just now starting to feel better. I got gas, hiccups and shoulder pains, and it was awful. Maybe I'll never eat again...

its my sign I ate too fast or that I'm stuck...it helps (at least for me) everything move around and I feel better after i've had them

I am sure once I am all healed they won't be painful, but everything is still sore in there. Oh well, live and learn, that's what this is all about, right?

I am a hiccup maniac! They don't normally hurt, just embarassing! My doctor told me I'm swallowing too much air when I eat, but I'm not so sure. I get the hiccups when I eat, when I drink, when I'm hungry, when I'm full, when I wake up, when I go to bed...get my picture? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behind them. The funny thing is, before my surgery (7/29/10) I hadn't hiccuped since I was a little kid. Who knows. I'll deal with the embarassing hiccups if this band helps me lose weight and get healthier!

Good luck. Let me know if you find out any answers.

Well, they are no longer painful since I've healed from surgery. But I have noticed that about 20 minutes after I've eaten, I will hiccup once. Very strange...

When I hiccup... I know it is time to stop eating. If I am just getting started... I know I am eating to fast. If I am near the end of my meal... I take it as my sign that I am full. Crazy... I never used to hiccup before surgery. I don't mind it though. :thumbup:

Yeah, I wish it worked as a good sign that I am full, but it's usually not for a good 20-30 minutes after I'm done eating. I haven't figured out what my full sign is yet.
