Ive heard about ppl getting the hiccups but why? Has anyone asked their dr?

Is it b/c you eat too much, too fast, or is it normal for wls patients as a full signal??? Please post your thoughts on this..

Thank you and LOVE you guys!

I'll be 2 weeks out tomorrow, and I do notice I get the hiccups alot easier.. I'm not sure why though. I also notice I burp ALOT, after eating or drinking. I think maybe it's because there isn't alot of room for air in our tiny stomachs? I dunno... it is kind of annoying though, I feel like I burp all the time lol!!

It's my only true full signal. It's only 1 hiccup, and I know if I eat anything else, I'll actually "feel" full. My surgeon said that it's just sometimes the body's reaction to getting full. I remember pre-op when I overate, I'd get the hiccups especially with bready type foods i.e. pizza.< /p>

I just started getting hiccups after I ate a few days ago! I was wondering the same thing! I was thinking I ate too fast or too much. Sometimes I hiccup so hard I feel like I will vomit. No fun!

Hiccups are a weird thing. They are often associated with irritation of the diaphragm. Your diaphragm is right above your stomach so it would make some sense that if your sleeve got distended, it would irritate the diaphragm. I usually see it shortly after surgery when we operate on the area and irritate. Obviously, you guys are living with it for some time. It would be interesting to see if it resolves after a year or so. It should, as Lap Nissen patients have the same issues.

Hi, Pre-op I would only get hiccups if I ate too fast. Now I get them if I eat too much or too fast and if I hiccup more then 2 or 3 times then I know I am about to get the foamies. I also will hiccup once or twice about a half hour after a meal.

I tend to get a hippup-wheeze about 20min to a half hour after eating. Its usually because I ate a little too much. I'm still lapband but will be sleeved in jan.

For me no hiccups...but the burping, was horrible right after surgery for about 2 weeks. Every sip would = two burps. It finally went away. I still have lots of burping after eating, but it is much quieter and more controllable now, than it was at first. Ugh!

OMG, the burping is the worst for me. I tell everyone that is my only complaint. It is so embarrassing and you cannot help it!! I would give anything to figure out how to eat and drink without swollowing so much air. My doctor says it will get better but, I am 10 weeks out and still burping away!

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
