i got hiccups for the first time post op, they were so painful i dropped in pain to my knees and started crying like an uncontrollable baby, luckily laying down made them go away. Nurse said it gets better as you heal. anyone else experience this?

No, I don't recall having hiccoughs soon after post op.

I do experience them now on a fairly regular basis as a "soft sign" that I have had enough to eat.

Hope you feel better!

I had hiccups on three different occasions today but I am 7 weeks out. It doesn't hurt but it is not comfortable either.

I got hiccups about 4 days after surgery and have had them everyday since... Except for today! *knock on wood* They were extremely painful at first but now I can hiccup with out any pain at all! The only thing that sucks is trying to talk when you have them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
