Is anyone or has anyone experienced persistent hiccups since being banded? I have continual hiccups. Not big ones. Kinda slow and gentle. And they stop occassionally. Then start back up. I haven't had much gas pains. Maybe this is how my body deals with the gas?

If you have had them, how did you stop them?

Do you think you could be swallowing air? It seems that most foods that

produce gas, do it in the intestines. I know chewing gum will cause you

to swallow air, but I can't think of anything that produces gas in the stomach.

Maybe someone will come along with some real knowledge that can help.

It's just an irritation of your diaphragm.........they go away eventually and then reappear when you get something stuck........annoying but nothing to worry about

I get them when I eat.

If I hiccup 1 x = stop eating, you had enough.

.

2 x = you over did it stop, or be sick.

Otherwise it's just plain hiccups.

My body lets me know, and I listen to it.

Thanks everyone.

I have noticed that since I have been banded I hiccup more after eating,my stomach gurgles and makes noise like crazy and when I am through eating every time now my nose will start to run.It is very important to listen to your body

especially now since youhave been banded.Your body will let you know what is going on. :-)

DITTO !

Oddly enough, I have not had the hiccups since I had surgery. I find it extremely hard to burp as well.

Burping and hiccupingare my body's newway of telling me to walk away from the food..kind of anoying butif i dont listen i will pay dearly,

Exactly the same here. When sitting at the table, when the hiccups start I know I have entered the danger zone.
