Hi everyone I got my lapband in Oct 24th 2011, I have had three fills the last one on the 11th of May. I have been filling really full, and with the hiccups. Is this normal, last night I just continued burping with some fluids also having a hard time with water. I only got 1cc fill I have lost 35 pounds, but due to a knee replacement have not been able to really work out. knee is much better now so I have started to work out on treadmill water and weights. Could someone please answer this for me, I will call my doctor did't want to be a pain. thanks.....

I am 10 months out. I just had a fill 2 weeks ago (4th fill) It was completely different from the first three. I get full very quickly. Since the day of my surgery, the hiccups for me have been a sign that I'm full and should quit eating. I almost always get the hiccups everytime I eat. I have noticed if I keep eating after I get the hiccups, I usually over eat and get sick.

I think it is normal.

I'm just getting around to looking at this....did you call your doctor? I see this is from May, but have you been able to avoid hiccups yet? I can't see where exercise would have any effect on a fill...I would say you should have called the doctor as perhaps they could be able to remove a small portion of your fill to alleviate the side effects. I had received an overfill to the point that I was vomiting nearly every meal....but that has been fixed now. Hope all is well.
