Hiccups ... NOT from overeating!

[WorkinOnMe 596]

Has anyone been able to stop hiccups when you eat??? I get the hiccups *every time* I eat, without fail.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Sometimes it is happening when I drink too. I am almost 9 mos out with no other complications/issues. I know sometimes if you eat too fast or too much it can cause hiccups. This isn't the case.

It is NOT from overeating ... sometimes all it takes is one bite. Sometimes a few. Sometimes I can drink all 32oz without one hiccup, and other times it starts immediately & continues as I drink. I've asked my DR & NUT and they both said it would subside over time. It hasn't, and sometimes they are so forceful that it hurts & I can't eat any more.

Anyone have a similar experience? How have you dealt with this??

I'm only about 12 days out - and I get hiccups each time I eat / drink too - and sometimes for no reason! But a lot more than before surgery, in any event. Right now they are painful, which I attribute to the fact that it jerks my freshly serrated tummy around - but you are 9 mos out; I am disheartened to hear that! I'll be following this thread to see if anyone has any thoughts, or if you get it figured out!
