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.

      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.
