I was sleeved yesterday and I'm on Clear Liquids today. I've been getting mean hiccups since last night. I hold my breath and they go away but they always come back. Anyone else have this problem? What'd you do?

I was sleeved on July 11th and I get the hiccups often, especially after I eat and am full.

Yup, hiccups or burps are common to signal satiety. Soon you will start to feel the satiety point before the hiccups. It took me about 2 months before reaching this step towards sleeve enlightenment.

I still get hiccups quite frequently especially when I am full. Even before surgery I think I got them more often than most people but it has gotten worse since the procedure.

Let me add I've been getting the since last night when I'd been fasting 24 hours. I haven't had anything today but 1 cup of broth, a half cup of Jello and Water.< /p>

it is probably related to the gas from surgery.

I would have to agree with hawkihoops. It is probably the gas they used to blow up your belly to see that is irritating your diaphragm which causes hiccups.

I'm 7 months out and get hiccups almost daily post meal and I've had them since first day post op... It's my "full" signal. It's very short (2 min or so) but they still happen.

Nothing to worry about- hiccups happen! ;)

      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!
