Has anyone experienced hiccups a year after surgery? If you did what did you do to get rid of them?

Are they hic ups that come when you start getting full?

A lot of people will get hic ups as a sign to stop eating.

I am not sure if that is what you are experiencing. I know my brother and dad get them that last for weeks. They have to take a muscle relaxer before bed to get them to stop.

These hiccups are not associated with eating. Have your brother and father been banded?

No, they have not. I don't know why they get them and can't get rid of them.

I do get a hic ups when I am eating and I am getting full. They call this a soft stop.

If you're not getting them while you're eating or when you're getting full, it may not be band related. I would try calling either your surgeon or your regular doctor.

I get hiccups whenever I've eaten enough. If eat even one more bite once I start to hiccup, I'm in the bathroom with some nasty slime and a PB. I'm over a year out, so yes, I still get them. For me it's a friendly little warning signal.

That's what I was talking about when I said it's what they call a soft stop. If you don't stop when you get a hicup, it's going to be a problem.

Mary said her hicups are not related to eating though, so it may not be band related. Some people just get them and I am not sure why.
