Im not certain what's going on here but last night I ate some sandwich meat, cheese, and some chips at my parents house. I started to hiccup uncontrollably and this morning I woke up and my stomach and mid back hurt. I've been feeling like this all day long and I'm concerned that my band might have slipped. I was afriad to anything solid for lunch so I went to Chili's and purchased enchilada soup. I had two crackers and the pain was excruciating. Does anyone have any idea as to what symptoms one would have if the band slips. Also, what causes hiccups? PLEASE HELP!

I hiccup a lot after I eat, I also burp a lot while I'm eating. I dunno why, but every time I go to the doc he says everything looks great so I suppose it's not causing any damage. I've always read that if your band slips you'll know it because you'll be able to eat a large amount of food again like before you were banded.

You may have eaten too much or too fast. Or not chewed well enough which irritated your stoma. When I start hiccuping, I know I need to stop eating, but sometimes I hiccup an hour after I ate. A slip is different for different people. With mine, I couldn't tolerate any solid food. Some people have no restriction and can eat alot again. Just take it easy and get to see your doctor if you don't feel better soon.
