Does anyone else get really bad hiccups regularly? Mine are like really big hiccups that last for a while.

Does anyone else have this and do you know why it happens after surgery?

It is a cue I was told. Some ppl get them and others do not. I get them. It is letting you know that you are full.

I was told they occur more often in patients that are eating that 1/2 cup of food entirely too fast.... My surgical team wants us to take 30 minutes to eat! Makes for reheating a few times each meal????

I don't get them as much now that my band is gone but my banded hiccups were HORRIBLE. Loud, painful, miserable. Fairly certain it had something to do with an irritated vagal nerve from my band, also, they were almost always on an empty stomach so I guess that 1/2 cup thing doesn't always apply.

I get them too but there is no pattern. It sometimes happens after I eat but sometimes happen when I haven't eaten or drank anything. If it happens when I am eating, I do take it as a full signal.

Hiccups definitely tell me I am full and stop eating.

For me it's a too full signal accompanied by pain

Been getting them more and more. I'm 2weeks post-op and I'm a bit dehydrated. So after just one sip of water there I go and start with the hiccups ????

I get them all the time, but I get them when I awake in the morning... No food yet. Can't be a signal. Surgeon was misjudged but said not to worry. I also has a hiatal hernia repair and always for hiccups so.... Don't know why, but yes....I do

I randomly hiccup throughout the day. Usually just a few times and then they're gone. I wonder why also!

I get them as well and it is my cue that I am done eating.
