I had my surgery yesterday and have get to burp or pass gas..instead I hiccup alot!! Is this my way of passing gass??

Hiccups are very common in the beginning (I had them)...usually means I ate too fast/much... too much air into my system...so annoying!

To help gas pass...WALK! Good luck

I'm guessing it is. I was a burper! LOL I burped unexpectedly for the first 2 weeks. I never was gassy. I am betting this is normal and that is what your body is doing. However, if it is persistant and it worries you, I would ask your doctor.

I am 5 months out and hiccup all day long whether I eat or drink and sometimes without either but I get them about 10 times a day. Annoying especially at work but getting used to it now. Sometimes they hurt pretty bad too. Hope yours are only temporary.

I'm 8 months out and I hiccup several times a day. It's just once or twice and then I'm done. I asked the dr about it. She said hiccups usually happen when something irritates your diaphragm muscle, for example eat/drinking something too cold or something like that. However mine happen at any time... Eating, drinking, talking, laughing, breathing, etc! It has no pattern to it.

I'm a teacher, so at least my students get a kick out of it when I'm in then middle of talking and it happens. :-)

Hiccups are my mark for being full. I stop eating at the first hiccup. If I don't I'll regret it. I'm just over 5 months out

Hiccups are also my full indicator.

Agree. Same here.

Whenever I hiccup more than twice, I tend to curse... The day of / day after surgery I was cursing louder than usual! Now I get a hiccup or two and my partner is all "OMG honey are you ok?!?" LOL I must have trained him, haha! They don't hurt now but they are deeply annoying if I get more than 2. There was a day where I was all *hic* "kill me" *hic* "kill me"
