barbi1281 112 Posted October 17, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chicadee 10 Posted October 18, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbi1281 112 Posted October 18, 2012 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkihoops 20 Posted October 18, 2012 it is probably related to the gas from surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamara Carter 22 Posted October 18, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliKat 153 Posted October 18, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
