Can you damage your band if you get hiccupps? Thank you

That's a good question!

Since my second fill I it always happens everytime I eat or drink something. I'm not sure if it's because I'm eating or drinking very fast. Maybe I'm not doing things right.

Can it damage the band?

I don't think that the hiccups themselves hurt the band but you have to take a look at why you have the hiccups. For me, they are a sure sign that I've eaten too much and it's my diaphragm trying to shove the food down.

THAT part can hurt the band, eating too much.

But if you've got a not too full tummy and they just come along...nah, not going to hurt the band.

I get the hiccups often, even 6 months post op. It is a sure sign of when to stop eating, or if I am stuck on something. I hate the hurting hiccups the most!!!

I don't think it will damage the band, or at least that is what I have read.
