I was banded on July 23, I am so happy with my decision!! This may be silly but.....the last few days I have been getting a case of the hiccups several times a day. These episodes are uncomfortable. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, anyone have any advice? Thanks!

that usually happens to me if I eat too quickly or too much.

i think its somehow tied in with irritation around the band. i know that when i eat too big a mouthful or dont chew enough then i get things like hiccups and sneezes... so i do think its all due to the surgery, that it will pass. Try not to stress over it.

i get hiccups and sneezes if i eat to fast or something spicy

I get the huccups as my signal to stop eating.

Hello,

I am new to this site and was wondering why I get the hiccups while eating. After reading many posts...I am either eating to big of a bite or over eating. This totally explains why I feel tighteness in my chest and why I get the hung feeling. I am learning everyday with my lapband and it is a difficult task to eat the same way for 30 something years and then you go through a retraining phase with the lapband of how you need to eat today and for the rest of you life. WOW! I've had my band for a couple of months now and after I talk to my doctor on Thursday, he recommended I go to a support group or join a chat forum to help me better understand all the different signs of life with the lapband. I am thankful I join this group.

i get the same thing. i dont get either at any other time but i know that if i start sneezing and hiccuping that im in for a bad run. Its not chewing enough and not waiting long enough between mouthfuls. Every time.

Hiccups are my soft sign to stop eating...houlder pain says i've eatn too much and too fast as I passed right past the hiccups.

Yes, this is difinately a sign that you've reached your fill. Eat slowly and take small bites, my food is usually cold by the time I'm done - yes, I have at times had to reheat my plate.
