OK. I have a new issue.. I know you people that have gone before me hold the answer, it started on Monday.

Ive been getting the hicups wight agter eating, It doesnt matter what I eat or how much, just about 3 to 5 minutes after they start, hic, hic, hic, I so annoing, and of course every one is looking at you and telling you how to fix them.. afyer about 10 min they go away on their own,, but its not fun. any one else?

Right after my surgery I would get ONE hiccup and then it would stop. Read somewhere it is because they stitch things to the diaphram so it starts to spasm when we eat. Mine went away about 3 weeks post op.

I started massive hiccups yesterday, i didnt think it was band relatedLol, I have been banded for 4 weeks.

Hiccups are a very common band occurence. Often, it's your sign that you've eaten and your diaphragm is now telling you you are full. Many of us get that ONE big hiccup as a sort of warning that we're getting full. sorta like a 'whoa!'.. Listen to what it's telling you. It may be time to put the food away and do something different. Welcome to restriction.

Glad you posted this thread. I have started to hiccup as well. Now I know I am not losing my mind and its my body telling me to stop.

and....mine are LOUD!!!

I get so scared I'm going to do it in public one day. They come from nowhere...you don't even feel them about to start, then all of a sudden...WHAM! I usually do it about 4-5 times really hard, then they stop. This is also my sign to Stop.

I too get hiccups right after I eat. So far, they are not real big loud ones! lol !!! I figured it was my new tiny tummy next to my diaphram telling me it was full and to stop it. A little annoying, but a small price to pay to a new slimmer me!

Hubby and I both get them. I'm not sure if they are regular hiccups or not, they seem to happen when we are full and it helps push the food down.
