I am still in the hospital and I am scheduled to go home this afternoon.

Is anyone having the hiccups?

I had them for a few days after and have gotten them a couple of more times. I think it is pretty normal for the early stages of the sleeve from what I have been seeing on here. I was having the same thing and saw tons of threads on here about hiccups!

Yup, dr's office told me they are fine as long as you are drinking slow and taking my Pepcid. If they become uncontrollable though then to call back. I am ready to not have them lol

I had them in the hospital. The nurse had me plug my ears with my fingers and swallow hard. It actually did the trick to stop them. (I had always done the "hold your breath" thing)

Thanks everyone! I've always gotten then occasionally... But it's been like almost every time I drink something cold... It's eased up a bit since I've been home from the hospital.

And when I do get them I take a deep breath and hold it as long as I can and before exhaling I breathe in again. It seems to work... My nurse said if they don't go away within a week to call them...

Thanks for your tips!

I had them that first night after surgery. The most painful hiccups ever. And all of my usual remedies were suddenly off the table..chugging Water or a tspoon of sugar usually knock them out. I walked around complaining like a baby until a nurse grabbed me and used her Jedi mind trick on me, or something cause she scared them right out of me.

I didn't have them the same night of surgery, but the morning after when I was allowed ice and fluids my mouth I had them pretty bad. Oh and they hurt! But they never lasted too long... Thank goodness!
