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.

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 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!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
