Hiccups???

I was banded January 8th 2007. Since my third fill I have the hiccups all the time. Has anyone else had this problem? I do not drink with a straw so I don't think it's an air issue.

Blech!! I get the hiccups ALL of the time since my second fill last month... I do not drink from a straw either... I HATE the hiccups!:faint:

when i get hiccups it is my "gentle reminder" that i am no longer hungry. if i continue eating, i will be VERY uncomfortable and possibly PB.

Mine seem to have nothing to do with eating... I usually get them between meals....

I get hiccups a couple of times a day. Usually they don't last very long. This has only happened since my last fill, not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

I can tell you that once in a while when something gets "stuck", getting the hiccups seems to help it "unstick", so that's the positive side to it.

oooh... I hiccup when things get a little stuck. Hadn't heard that from anyone else so it's nice to know it's normal. It does help things get unstuck after a few big hiccups.

I'm just like losingjusme, whenever my pouch is full i get a hiccup or two and stop eating.

I get hiccups when I get stuck. I don't usually stay stuck for long, so I always thought it was my body's way of pushing it through..... I don't know. Am I wrong?

I get hiccups about 10 minutes or so after I eat. Others get them while they eat and it's a stop signal....but for me.... it's delayed.

And yes, it's frequent. Doesn't bother me anymore except when I have a headache and get them....that hurts.

LOL I used to get the hiccups EVERY day. That was before surgery.

NOW I have only had hiccups about 5 times total. LOL odd but I am loving it.

In the Realize band book they gave me it lists hiccups as a sign that your fill may be too tight. I'm not banded yet so I have no real idea about what I'm talking about!!

when i get hiccups it is my "gentle reminder" that i am no longer hungry. if i continue eating, i will be VERY uncomfortable and possibly PB.

Thanks I realley need to look at it as a reminder too... I've been hiccuping like crazy :crying:
