Post-op hiccups normal?

[hopeful07 0]

I was banded Friday 2/23, I have had the hiccups many times today (they hurt) is this normal? Also I have pain at my collarbone area of all places, it is the worst when I wake up..it hurts when I breathe in the most. Anybody else have something similar? I've been using the breathing spiriometry bottle several times a day, it helps a little.

My doc only required a 48 hr liquid diet followed by 4 weeks of mushies. I've had no problems eating 2/3 of a serving of cream of wheat..it seems like a lot to me I expected to be full after a few bites. I haven't felt full yet I just stop eating when I don't feel the hunger anymore.

Need to update my ticker but too tired right now!

I hiccup all the time. They hurt at first, but not anymore. I've always been prone to them, though. Usually just one or two at a time. I find now, though, they're usually followed by a weird burp that comes from way down in my belly. No disguising it, or keeping it quiet! I just excuse myself whenever it happens.

Hopeful,

After surgery I would get the hiccups also, and they would hurt like he... uh crazy. Now that I am 3 weeks post-op tomorrow the hiccups don't hurt any more. I think it hurts so much because the diaphram sets above the stomach, so until you have healed a little more you will have some pain.

Just know that it will go away.

Good luck to you!!

It's still seems so strange to me that it helps to know that others have had the same experiences, even for the most basic things. But it does help, so thank you;)

I hiccup about 3 times after I eat. That's my sign not to eat anymore
