Hiccups

[samskiles 159]

What causes them after being banded?

Well it is said that if you get hiccups after you eat, it is a soft stop to let you know, it's time to stop. I however got these hiccups after I got my 3rd fill. I was hiccuping before I even ate anything lol.. but it has subsided a bit now, but I do get them before and after I eat. Weird right?

for me, it's my soft stop, I hiccup right at that moment of knowing when to stop eating.

I didn't realize that is what it was. I too get the hiccups while eating sometimes. I'll definitely be paying closer attention. Thanks guys....you learn something new everyday.

Soft stops can be different things for different people that is why we have to tune into our bodies. Some people have runny noses (me), hiccups, sigh, and I am sure there are more.

I get hiccups now, but I have always had the siighh

I'm three days post-op and have had 4 episodes of hiccups. I'm only on Clear liquids so the "soft stop" you all are talking about must be for liquids too. I'm so darn thirsty all the time, sometimes I forget to slow down. I'm taking small sips but because of the hiccups, maybe I'm just taking in too much at one time.

Thanks everyone for helping solve this mystery for me.

there for awhile I did get a runny nose then I started getting hiccups and the hiccups have stayed, not constant, just when it is a stopping point, like "no more food please" or else!

I don't know about the rest of you but before my band hiccups would hurt once in a while. Now I do everything I can to not hiccup if possible because they really hurt. I know I am still healing but I hope the painful hiccups go away. banded 1-17-13

Does the pain stop?????
