When I first had the surgery for several days I had severe hickups. Well Monday I got my first fill and Monday night Tuesday I was having severe hiccups. ANyone else have this problem? Drinking Water doesn't help, any suggestions.

I hiccup when something slow has cleared the stoma, or when my stoma is irritated. I sometimes get them out of the blue, but I can't relate it to fills. I can most definitely relate hiccup activity to band activity, though.

As soon as I got my fill I felt like I had to belch. It was weird. But then I hiccupped when I drank the Water they gave me. I use to never hiccup before I got the band, maybe once every 3 or 4 months. And when I have resctriction I hiccup like once every two days. It doesn't last long, but I do it. Since getting my first fill on Tuesday I've had two hiccupping sessions. Maybe its from the restriction or swollowing air, I'm not sure. It doesn't bug me though. It actually kind of tells me 'yes, you have good restriction' and I like that.

I get the hiccups all the time now! It drives me crazy. However when I start getting full, I hiccup 1 time - it is a warning (I guess). But I got the hiccups 3 times yesterday and it wasn't when I was eating or anything - and they lasted forever!

I kinda like my hiccups!.... they are my signal to STOP EATING.

I too get the hiccups on a daily basis. Sometimes they are "hard" ones and actually hurt a bit. Mostly it's a sign to stop for me. My youngest step-daughter thinks it is funny and at the dinner table before they start, she always looks at me and says "i predict you will get the hiccups", like she's telling my future! LOL

I get the hiccups too and I know it is band related. It's not the type of hiccups that you can't get rid of, it is my warning sign to stop eating or if I am really tight I hiccup once or twice even when not eating. We have a very interesting little tool in our bodies. It is so interesting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
