Does anyone else get really bad hiccups regularly? Mine are like really big hiccups that last for a while.

Does anyone else have this and do you know why it happens after surgery?

It is a cue I was told. Some ppl get them and others do not. I get them. It is letting you know that you are full.

I was told they occur more often in patients that are eating that 1/2 cup of food entirely too fast.... My surgical team wants us to take 30 minutes to eat! Makes for reheating a few times each meal????

I don't get them as much now that my band is gone but my banded hiccups were HORRIBLE. Loud, painful, miserable. Fairly certain it had something to do with an irritated vagal nerve from my band, also, they were almost always on an empty stomach so I guess that 1/2 cup thing doesn't always apply.

I get them too but there is no pattern. It sometimes happens after I eat but sometimes happen when I haven't eaten or drank anything. If it happens when I am eating, I do take it as a full signal.

Hiccups definitely tell me I am full and stop eating.

Been getting them more and more. I'm 2weeks post-op and I'm a bit dehydrated. So after just one sip of Water there I go and start with the hiccups ????

I get them all the time, but I get them when I awake in the morning... No food yet. Can't be a signal. Surgeon was misjudged but said not to worry. I also has a hiatal hernia repair and always for hiccups so.... Don't know why, but yes....I do :D

I randomly hiccup throughout the day. Usually just a few times and then they're gone. I wonder why also!

      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.

        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!
