Are hiccups bad....possible band slippage?



Recommended Posts

It seems that since I've been banded hiccups are a much more regular occurrence now. Has this spastic motion been known to cause band slips like PB'n or other problems? Thanks-Brian

I'm a new bandster too. I don't think the hiccups cause slippage, but I have notices that I get "soft" hiccups ( not big loud ones!) when I am full. It has been my sign that I am full. I am trying to learn to anticipate that hiccup feeling to know that I have had enough to eat. This is a learning experience for all of us.

Wow, I get a few mild hiccups when I am full too. That is my sign that I had better not take another bite.

On another note, I also get some pretty intense, loud, obnoxious hiccups that I never had before getting the band on a fairly regular occurance. I don't think they will hurt my band though.

I miss my loud & oboxious hiccups! Anybody around me just couldn't help but laugh at my hiccups - especially my son. But since I've been banded I have these little wimpy ones now.

The band stole my hiccups! 36_1_13.gif

I just figured my tummy was pissed off!! Ive had them with Water even- now I know that is a full sensation- however my stomach was/is still growling and rumbling . Maybe just getting used to the whole thing!!

Good to know!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
