When I first had the surgery for several days I had severe hickups. Well Monday I got my first fill and Monday night Tuesday I was having severe hiccups. ANyone else have this problem? Drinking Water doesn't help, any suggestions.

I hiccup when something slow has cleared the stoma, or when my stoma is irritated. I sometimes get them out of the blue, but I can't relate it to fills. I can most definitely relate hiccup activity to band activity, though.

As soon as I got my fill I felt like I had to belch. It was weird. But then I hiccupped when I drank the Water they gave me. I use to never hiccup before I got the band, maybe once every 3 or 4 months. And when I have resctriction I hiccup like once every two days. It doesn't last long, but I do it. Since getting my first fill on Tuesday I've had two hiccupping sessions. Maybe its from the restriction or swollowing air, I'm not sure. It doesn't bug me though. It actually kind of tells me 'yes, you have good restriction' and I like that.

I get the hiccups all the time now! It drives me crazy. However when I start getting full, I hiccup 1 time - it is a warning (I guess). But I got the hiccups 3 times yesterday and it wasn't when I was eating or anything - and they lasted forever!

I kinda like my hiccups!.... they are my signal to STOP EATING.

I too get the hiccups on a daily basis. Sometimes they are "hard" ones and actually hurt a bit. Mostly it's a sign to stop for me. My youngest step-daughter thinks it is funny and at the dinner table before they start, she always looks at me and says "i predict you will get the hiccups", like she's telling my future! LOL

I get the hiccups too and I know it is band related. It's not the type of hiccups that you can't get rid of, it is my warning sign to stop eating or if I am really tight I hiccup once or twice even when not eating. We have a very interesting little tool in our bodies. It is so interesting.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
