I had surgery April 21, 2010 and have had hiccups for the last two days. Thanks for explaining this. I feel good but a bit tired. It is hard to listen to the body and realize the signs it is giving me, after so many years of ignoring it! The no Water for 30 minutes before and after meals is what throws me, so now I set the timer.

I'm at Day 3 post-op, and I get pretty drastic hiccups every time I have to swallow a pill (I take 6 in the morning and 2 at night, related to blood pressure). I'm sipping the bare minimum of Water every time, and the pills aren't big. Please say this goes away, or there's a solution. I can't swallow a sugar pack anymore to get rid of them anymore, and can't take 10 gulps of water. Pretty painful, too.

I think ther are a couple of signals to warn us that we are getting close to full. Hiccups and the watering of my is the second one the third is the tightness in my chest , this last one is not one you want to get. it can get very painful if a foodpiece went down not chewed up quite enough. Been bande over 2 yrs. So I recognize these pretty quick , it just varies betweent he runny eyes and nose then the hiccups. but if you keep puttin more food in, STOP THEN , IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE FOR THOSE NEXT BITES....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
