i just got banded on mon and now i have the hiccups. Not small ones either. i am a bit worried,:sad: does that cause band slipage?????:thumbup: it doesn't hurt but it does cause a very odd sensation.

Try getting up and walking around to get rid of them. I get the hiccups all the time and have since I got banded. Normally after I eat I get the hiccups or when I get really hungry.

ok.. willtry... thanks

:thumbup:

Walking is KEY!!! I remember I got the hiccups a bit at first but not anymore! I think it is the gas...it needs to work out from all your tissues!

I don't think that will make your band slip.

I was concerned because after my surgery I dry heaved violently several times and I asked my nurse if that could cause a slippage.

She assured me that it wouldn't, that most slippages are caused by people vomiting day after day, many times. She also said slipping is unlikely to occur this soon after surgery, as we haven't gotten any real restriction yet.

So try not to worry!
