Not a burb, but more of a painful hiccup?

I'm 1 week post op tomorrow! Yay! But the main question is, is anyone else having this issue? It feels like its going to be a burp, but comes out as a silent painful hiccup? My stomach does this rattling around and its pretty uncomfortable!!

I did the same thing and it took me a while to figure out that I was just drinking too fast. I slowed down and it went away.

I am also a week today post op. And I was wondering the same thing it happens to me a lot also Good to know what causes it.

Does anyone know how long it takes for your port site to heal? Because mine has been bothering me a lot today on the inside, Not the actual incision. Mine is right in the middle of my stomach right above my abs, and below my chest.

Also I know every surgeon is different in where the placement of the port. But where are some other peoples?

Some of it may be eating or drinking too fast. It could also just be gas as your body is trying to work the kinks out after banding and learn to move food from one place to another. If it is a hiccup after you eat, it could be your soft sign that you have eaten enough. I know it is mine.

It takes about 6 weeks for the body to completely heal after the surgery. That being said, I have never had any issues with my port site. I qualified for single incision laproscopic sugery (SILS) lap band surgery. My port is placed below my belly button where they did the incision. It is the place my doctor always puts the port in SILS Lapand. Otherwise, he usually puts them on the right side of the abdomen just below the rib cage. It is more of a dr's preference when placing the port. Some do it for aesthetic reasons for the patient others for convenience when filling.
