Hi everyone. I was banded on feb 15th and this morning instead of eating something I decided I was going to have a glass of water with my calcium and multivitamin tablets before i ate something. Doing so I got nauseous and lied down. And then I got the hiccups and they have been ongoing now for the past 15 minutes. I'm so terrified that this is moving my band or something because its only been 2 weeks! Am I screwed? Did I just mess up my band?

I am not a doc but I use to get the hiccups when I was full....not for 15 minutes though. Try to walk around, you may just have some air in there from drinking your liquids to fast or something. I don't think your band is going to slip over your hiccups. Like I said, I use to get them all the time. And your band can seem to go through a lot before it slips. Again, I am not a doc but call yours and just ask them to make yourself feel better. I have gotten sick, hiccups, taken a bad fall and my band is still in place.. unfortunetaly its leaking and I am having issues but this is not about me....just call the doc...it will make you feel better..ok!!!! I remember too when I would do something and freak out about my band. Once I forgot to crush a pill and thought I was going to flip! EVerything was fine....hope i helped you some..

and remember...don't drink anything half hour before you eat!!!

I don't think anything is messed up but if you are scared, call your doc. I get the hiccups and I burp now more than my entire life combined!

Just try to relax...mine have gone on that long before.

Thanks guys, I guess I was just freaking out because I remember my surgeon said something about constant hiccups could be a sign of a possible slip. I'm seeing him Wednesday so I'll bring it up then. I was just nervous because nothing was in my stomach so I couldn't be too full haha.
