Had the surgery last night at 6pm. Have had the hiccups off and on all day today. The last spell lasted 2 hours. Is VERY painful. I was doing fine with no pain meds until the hiccups started. I asked the doctor about it when he came in to discharge me and he just said to take the Lortab. Well, it doesn't hurt as much, but the hiccups are very annoying and I can't take Lortab forever. Anybody else have this problem?

I get the hiccups at least 2-3 times a day and I will be 11 weeks on Monday!

They are annoying, I don't know what is up with them, but really wish they would stop!!

I only get hiccups here and there, usually when I eat too fast or too much. They can last 30 minutes or so and it's annoying. But I'll take it compared to spending the rest of my life huge.

They gave me levosin (hope I spelled that right) for spasms. I got the hiccups alot at first esp if I was too "full". It got better.

I get them randomly i believe when I am full as well, not with every meal though. It drives my husband crazy but there is nothing I can do about it. Even before surgery I probably got them more than the average person.

I have alot of random hiccup/burp sounds when eating or drinking. But true hiccups I've only had once and it lastest what seemed like forever. Held my breath a few times and they finally stopped.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
