i have been getting hicups on and off can anyone help? Please let me know Thanks also whats a sign of band slipage Thanks SAM

slips seem to be rare. We all get scared. Call the Doc. This thing is tough. I put mine through food hell. Still going!

Hiccups - I get them when

1) I overeat

2) I drink after I eat

3) I have carbonated beverages too fast

I figure they are a sign I'm messing up!!

I stop eating or drinking with the first hiccup.......otherwise I BP for 24 hours. I guess we are all different....and this is a warning sign for me.

Hiccups are my signal that I've had just enough to eat, not overeaten. I hiccup once or twice and know to stop.

Hiccups tell me STOP now. If I don't I am uncomfortable for at least an hour. Sometimes I begin the PB routine which, next to sticking my finger in the light socket, is my favorite thing to do.

I have been fooled a few times...where I hiccup once and then no more so I take a few more bits and holy cow I want to find the highest bridge. So thru trial and error I have learned.

Hiccup to me is like a cop with a ticket book...I'll give you a warning mister if you stop. otherwise you get the ticket and pay the piper

What does PB or BP stand for????

Hiccups ,for me, is my "Here's Your Sign"......not another bite!

Unique as we are, our body blesses us with these red flags....it's our responsibility to listen, obey or suffer the consequenses.

I also gurgle when I sip water or any liquid too fast....

Kmoorhead......PB means "productive burping"....or what has gone down is fixin' to come back up....it's not pretty! lol Listen to your body signals and you will not experience it often! Good luck hun!

:kiss2: :kiss2: What does PB or BP stand for; I see alot of people using this when

talking to each other.

thank you for the information!!
