After I drink or eat I have this Hiccup/burp thing that's weird. I don't think it's PBing as nothing is coming up. Just curious if anyone else has this too or if I'm doing something wrong

Mine sounds like a burp and a backwards quack! It kinda hurts too. This usually happens when I have put one bight in too much or if I drink too fast.

I hiccup when I either eat too quickly or am at the verge of full.

Thank you I was beginning to think something was wrong. Glad I'm not alone!!! Lol

My kids and I call it "hiccurps". It's like a cross between a burp and a hiccup. If I am eating and my band decides I'm done before my cup of food is gone, I get the hiccurps. That's my sign to stop eating or I'm going to regret it.

For me, that hiccup/burp thing is a "soft stop" sign. It means trouble is coming if I choose to ignore it. Listen to your band and STOP eating when you get the sign!

I have the same thing going on. I just left my doctor's office and she said that is a sure sign that I've eaten too much.

well said

Just had my 1 week post-op yesterday and this was my very first question for my nurse! I think I'm drinking a little too fast. I'm so used to guzzling water, but I need to slow it down with my new band. I just hiccup one time, one really big hiccup, and then I know I need to slow it down.

Definitely a soft stop for me

Thank you so much. I'm still learning all these little things.

Boy, I had a pair of these yesterday and I was concerned. Thanks for letting me know what it means.

Being 4 days post op all I do is burp. Will this get better

Yes, a lot of it is air. I had it and still do a little. My dr kept telling me you are eating and drinking too fast. I thought I had slowed down, but not enough. I still have the hardest time not drinking too fast and I am over a year out.

I get the same thing.... From all the posts, it sounds like a band-ism. Thank goodness I read Jean's article on soft & hard stops, because as soon as I hiccurp (Missy - love that), I know that I better put the fork down SOON It's difficult, though, because sometimes it happens after only a few bites. I've pushed the envelope & kept going...slowly, but my total shutoff happens within the next three bites.
