Hiccups are very common in the beginning (I had them)...usually means I ate too fast/much... too much air into my system...so annoying!

To help gas pass...WALK! Good luck

I'm guessing it is. I was a burper! LOL I burped unexpectedly for the first 2 weeks. I never was gassy. I am betting this is normal and that is what your body is doing. However, if it is persistant and it worries you, I would ask your doctor. :)

I am 5 months out and hiccup all day long whether I eat or drink and sometimes without either but I get them about 10 times a day. Annoying especially at work but getting used to it now. Sometimes they hurt pretty bad too. Hope yours are only temporary.

I'm 8 months out and I hiccup several times a day. It's just once or twice and then I'm done. I asked the dr about it. She said hiccups usually happen when something irritates your diaphragm muscle, for example eat/drinking something too cold or something like that. However mine happen at any time... Eating, drinking, talking, laughing, breathing, etc! It has no pattern to it.

I'm a teacher, so at least my students get a kick out of it when I'm in then middle of talking and it happens. :-)

Hiccups are my mark for being full. I stop eating at the first hiccup. If I don't I'll regret it. I'm just over 5 months out

Hiccups are also my full indicator.

Whenever I hiccup more than twice, I tend to curse... The day of / day after surgery I was cursing louder than usual! Now I get a hiccup or two and my partner is all "OMG honey are you ok?!?" LOL I must have trained him, haha! They don't hurt now but they are deeply annoying if I get more than 2. There was a day where I was all *hic* "kill me" *hic* "kill me"

      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!
