Yes, but they're not typical hiccups. My kids and I call them "hiccurps" because I get this weird burp-hiccup combination things after I eat. I usually get about a dozen then they stop.

I thought maybe I was the only one! I'm 6 days post op and I get hiccups daily... And they hurt!(prob because I'm still a bit sore plus still have some gas pains) I googled it literally 2 minutes ago and the person said that's how they know their pouch is full OR it happens whenever they drink too soon after eating... I know I'm guilty of the drinking too soon part bc I'm so nervous I'm not getting enough liquids. So maybe that's it?

Hiccups occur post op because of the swelling, when the diaphragm is irritated that is what causes hiccups, and being in such close proximity to the stomach.

However, it can occur later when banded longer some people like to use it as a "soft stop" to tell them they are full. But it's not always a good idea since constant irritation to the Diaphragm can cause left shoulder pain, the diaphragm doesn't feel pain it refers it to the left shoulder.

I get hiccups everyday now. I haven't quite figured out what's causing it (I'm 3.5 weeks postop) but pretty sure it's either eating too fast, too much, or drinking too soon after eating. Or maybe a combo of things. But they don't usually last long.

I get them all the time. My husband thinks when I eat or drink too fast. I also burp and fart a lot. I was told these are all normal.
