I was banded Jan 25, and for the past few days i've been getting the hiccups (usually just 1 or two at a time) but they hurt like all mothers, haha. anyone else experience this? And is it going to damage or make my band slip?

Its usually a sign that you are full

I get them even when not eating/drinking?

I was having the same thing happen to me!! I just got banded on the 28th;) I went to see my doctor yesterday ! And she told me my band was a lil tight? But I was having chest pains/spasms and was a lil hard to breathe wen I walked around;( and I threw up 3 times!! Ugh!

Talk about easy.. Lol but my first fill is 3/1/13

When is yours ?

As of today I'm felling pretty good;) and its my first day back at work ' hope it go's well?? Lol

But yes it is painful I hope everything gets better!

Not sure when my first fill is, i'll find out when I go in for my appointment this week I think... I went back to work yesterday, and ended up leaving 3 hours into my shift today.. For some reason i'm having a lot of pain in my port area today. Not to sure whats going on, but i'm taking it considering I haven't had much pain for the whole thing.

Omg I'm same hiccups are awful I thought sneezing was bad but keep having hiccups its horrible!! Lol the more u want them to stop though the more they carry on

Oh wow I'm sorry for the both of you!!

Yeah I was having the same pain by my port yesterday ? Gone today tho ! Hope u feel better and yes hiccups suck..lol

That's right try putting a ice bag on the part where your port is! It helps !

I have the hiccups too, usually at very random times or when I am moving around like after a shower. Doc said they were normal and to keep up on my pain meds.

hiccups is one of my soft stop signals when eating and if I ignore it I wind up having a stuck episode.
