Literally every time I eat I get the hiccups after. I chew slowly and do my best to take my time yet no matter what eating brings out a bout of hiccups. Not really concerning but annoying, any one else experience this or have any idea what causes this after surgery?

I'm 3 months out and i still get them occasionally, i spoke to my nurse about it and she said it was nothing to worry about and just a bit of trapped wind under my diaphram

For me it's always when I eat/drink too fast or too much. I don't know physically why it happens after surgery, but I know it has to do with the phrenic nerve. So I suspect that it's a sensitivity thing, and that you eventually get over it. But that's an educated guess.

It happens to me when I feel I ate too much or too fast. I also will start coughing if I am too full

I get them whenever I eat anything drives me potty, but I have heard they do go away eventually.

Slow, mindful eating helps.

@@theantichick I tend to get them regardless of how quickly or slowly I eat I've noticed. No doubt I have my moments when I could probably slow down but it even happens after taking Vitamins for example. Maybe hacking out my innards just put everything off it's a-game for the time being I appreciate the educated guess!

@@Ssze1109 I've yet to have a coughing fit after eating I'm glad I'm only suffering through one thing for the time being! I'm sure I would avoid meals like the plague of my bodily functions started the great rebellion in me after every meal lol.

Had them immediately I started Stage 1. Contributed to my staying an extra day at the hospital. They disappeared on the morning of the 3rd day post-op. I was told they would go away and they did.
