I cannot stop hiccuping! I called my doctor's office and they told me not to drink anything cold (no way can i tolerate a warm Protein shake) I am 15 days post op. I have also read that it can be from drinking too fast or distension- well when i wake up in the morning the first thing i do is hiccup- way before i have anything!!

maybe my nerves are still locally irritated from the surgery- i hope this gets better! The hiccups arent very violent or anything so I dont think they should cause a problem but I guess I am just looking for reassurance!

As far as I know I do not have a slipped band, and I have been hiccupping since day one. Some times it is mild, but I have to tell you sometimes they are harsh and they hurt. Some have even caused me to PB. Gross! Anyway, I have no real answer but will keep my eye on the responses because now I'm concerned too!

I hiccup ALL the time. Before I eat, while I eat, after I eat, pretty much any time of the day, I'll hiccup. Usually it's 3 or 4 times, other times, it will go on for a few minutes. There's no rhyme or reason to it. I wonder if the nerve that causes that has some pressure on it from the band, or something. I told my doc about it, and he wasn't concerned about it, so I'm not, either.

Does anyone have advice on PB?
