I am one of those people that has hiccups ALL. THE. TIME. I also have a tendency to burp a lot. I'm wondering if any of you did this a lot pre-op and if it changed or stayed the same post op. I do not, nor have I ever had trouble with reflux, just hiccups.

Well I wasent a person that could burp or pass gas easily (tmi) n I NEVER had hiccups , after the surgery well you have to get the gas they bloat you with out and now 8 days post op I burp allllllday with any move ments , I still have difficulty passing gas and I get the hiccups when I take big gulps of water

I'm hoping to hear from people that have been post op for a while now and had lots of hiccups prior to surgery. I'm aware of the gas post op, I'm more asking about regular hiccups and gas not related to surgery.

hmm...well, my pre-op nurse said she NEVER had hiccups, and in the year she's been post op she gets them like clockwork every afternoon. I hope your hiccups go away!

im 3 weeks post op, I have hiccups somtimes and am told from my doc it may be from eating to fast was also told protonix works wonders. I was on prilosec and switched to zantac 150mg and find it to help more still taking lots of chewable gas ex. smaller bites maybe and slow your eating its all a learning process

Hiccups are my sign that something got stuck - usually a hunk of chicken that didn't get chewed enough or was a little too dry. Sometimes it goes on down, and sometimes it comes back up (perhaps even aided by a finger). And then the hiccups go away.
