Single Hiccup?

[Elle23 0]

I was wondering if any of you in my newly banded family have been experiencing anything that I can only describe as a single hiccup-like sensation to your diaphragm area? It isn't comfortable, but it isn't exactly painful and seems to occur when I am not eating or drinking anything. I wonder if it is because I had my hiatal hernia repaired when my band was placed? I'm going to ask about it during my post-op appointment tomorrow, but thought I'd ask you all also.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I think I have been having this too...feels kind of like a lump in your throat but comes in a wave kind of?? Mine has been happening less and less in the last couple days.

I have the single hiccup thats extremely loud. Mine doesn't have a typical time but its something I can't control and I have been given funny looks. I was thinking it had something to do with my lung collapsing during surgery, but maybe not?

I was banded on Feb 24 and hthinghe same thing! I also had hernia repair that i was thinking it was the culprit. Let me know! It is very painful to me.

I only get them when it is time to stop eating! And it is not one but about 10 and they come straight from hell!

I spoke with my doctor today and he said that my single hiccup sensation is most likely being caused by a combination of the hernia repair and the band -- the hiccup is just my diaphragm's way of showing irritation. He said it would dissipate in time.

Thank you all for letting mr know I wasn't alone with this! Best wishes on a happy and healthy journey to all of you!
