I was wondering had anyone experienced the hiccups after eating a meal? I received my second fill about 2 weeks ago and that's when it started.... should I be concerned? They hurt to the point where I don't want to eat :-(

I have gad them and my doc says normal for either eating too fast or a sign I am full. Not a worrisome problem, just a pain. : )

Same here... usually I hiccup just once and it is my signal that I am full. Annoying, but a good reminder.

that was one of the first signs for me that I had enough to eat.. a little hiccup or burp.. says You're done.. quite eating.. it's actually pretty neat... mine isn't painful though...

Agreed. When I hiccup..... I stop eating. Its my backup just incase I am eating for the wrong reasons.

Hiccups is my signal to stop eating. If I try to eat pass that, I feel a little pain. Now, after the 1st hiccup, I stop eating. Sometimes that is hard to do became the food taste so good. But, I got to listen to my band.

I had a fill 4 days ago and have just started doing that after eating in over 3 years. I'm starting over and that may be a good sign for me....Thanks for posting that!

The reality of a Hiccup, and sneezing is YES you've probably eaten enough for your Band BUT... what is occurring is your band or stomach is contacting the Diaphragm and that is what is causing it, most feels it's an inconvenience or use it as a "tell" for when they should stop. HOWEVER the diaphragm doesn't feel pain it refers pain, usually to the Left shoulder, caused from the Phrenic nerve. Simplified the Phrenic nerve controls breathing So if you develop breathing issues because of prolonged hiccups or sneezing TELL YOUR DOCTOR GET IT CHECKED

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
