I've been told hiccuping can be a sign of a leak. Am I the only one that hiccups pretty often? When I was banded hiccuping was a sign of being full. I went in looking for a leak because of hiccups and found no hiccups. Why are hiccups bad? Anyone get them with no leak problems?

I'm 2 weeks post op and have hiccuped twice and I think that's because I ate too much or too fast. I'm not sure if that's a sign of a leak...I just saw my surgeon today and he said intest shoulder pain is a sign of a leak. I think you should talk to your Dr. just in case.

I get them everytime I eat. It's my full signal. Never heard of it as I sign for a leak. I'm almost 1 year out and I'm a-ok ; )

I get them when I'm full. Haven't heard anything about them being tied to a leak though.

I get them terrible when I've eaten too much. Not just hiccups but burps really bad! My family thinks its funny! I kind of hurts though! I try to learn from it and not eat so much, but I've always gulped my food down really fast. I am having trouble eating slow even now!

Hiccups are a sign of being full for me as well. I try to breathe in as I hiccup so that it doesn't hurt as bad. I only hiccup once or twice and they usually go away...

I get them if I take too big of a drink, but never when I eat.

Those are my full signal too. Burping as well. I've never been so gassy. I think I eat too fast as well. My sleeve makes the most funny and hideous noises. Nothing hurts. It's just weird.

Have been getting them after I eat like half hour later..goes on for like ten min or more..happens when I eat meat..cottage cheese..no issue...have had them when I felt like I ate a little too much and when eating less..so frustrating.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
