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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
