mominkansas 2 Posted February 9, 2012 I've been told hiccuping can be a sign of a leak. Am I the only one that hiccups pretty often? When I was banded hiccuping was a sign of being full. I went in looking for a leak because of hiccups and found no hiccups. Why are hiccups bad? Anyone get them with no leak problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shells 40 Posted February 9, 2012 I'm 2 weeks post op and have hiccuped twice and I think that's because I ate too much or too fast. I'm not sure if that's a sign of a leak...I just saw my surgeon today and he said intest shoulder pain is a sign of a leak. I think you should talk to your Dr. just in case.

fern 195 Posted February 9, 2012 I get them everytime I eat. It's my full signal. Never heard of it as I sign for a leak. I'm almost 1 year out and I'm a-ok ; ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ByeByeBigGirl 10 Posted February 9, 2012 I get them when I'm full. Haven't heard anything about them being tied to a leak though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajbailey72 2 Posted February 9, 2012 I get them terrible when I've eaten too much. Not just hiccups but burps really bad! My family thinks its funny! I kind of hurts though! I try to learn from it and not eat so much, but I've always gulped my food down really fast. I am having trouble eating slow even now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissE 8 Posted February 9, 2012 Hiccups are a sign of being full for me as well. I try to breathe in as I hiccup so that it doesn't hurt as bad. I only hiccup once or twice and they usually go away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
circa 333 Posted February 9, 2012 I get them if I take too big of a drink, but never when I eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted February 9, 2012 Those are my full signal too. Burping as well. I've never been so gassy. I think I eat too fast as well. My sleeve makes the most funny and hideous noises. Nothing hurts. It's just weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddd8704 10 Posted March 12, 2012 Have been getting them after I eat like half hour later..goes on for like ten min or more..happens when I eat meat..cottage cheese..no issue...have had them when I felt like I ate a little too much and when eating less..so frustrating.
