It's nothing to worry about. I still get the hiccups all the time. It's kind of annoying, but I think it's my diaphragm's way of letting me know it's irrated. I usually get hiccups the worst when I eat too much or drink something too fast.

Yes I get hickups sometimes. I really do not know why but I would guess Janiece's answer is the right one because I think mine happen after I eat or drink too fast or too much in one bite or drink. It is annoying but not too bad and it goes away pretty fast.

I wish I could hiccup or burp! At times I feel like I really need to but nothing comes up! I am only 4 days out- Banded on July 29, mayb that has something to do with it. I have no clue!

As usual, I'm no doctor, but, I can tell you from my experience, I had hiccups really bad up until yesterday, 8/1. Not anymore though, and I think alot of it has to do with doing the walking. Make sure you do that so you can get the gas out from the surgery. I think once you get that surgery gas out, you won't hiccup as much, or you may lose that feeling of needing to. Anyhow, continued best wishes :) Alan

For me,,,, There are 3 stages of Hiccups !

1. If I Hiccup 1 time, it means STOP you had enough.

2. If I Hiccup twice, it means don't have anymore, because it's already full !

3. If I have the Hiccups, then I have the Hiccups.

This is so TRUE !

I get the hiccups after I've eaten too much also. I'm almost 3 years out and am still not a master of listening to my body. So sometimes it has to shout at me by giving me the hiccups. They're not usually painful just annoying as all get out. Now the after surgery gas was absolutely horrible in my left shoulder for close to 3 weeks. But it went away eventually, gas-x strips helped tremendously.

I have, what I call a hic-urp, hicup/burp. I take as an indication that things are moving, kinda like a swish.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
