Holy crap, I just got the hiccups, and it scared me like anything. My usual remedy is to drink down Water, but I can't do that now! Tell me I'm being paranoid, and that hiccups don't cause the band to slip or anything!

I'm on day 7 post-op.

I don't think hiccups can make your band slip. I get them more now that I did before banding. You can still drink Water, just a little more slowly.

It should pass quickly :0)

I am 13 days post op and I notice whenever I get mild hiccups or a hiccup --- they really hurt. It's like I can feel the band around my stomach.

my stomache feels tender at times where the band is around it.? but i dont think it has to do with hiccups? Hmm might be a good question for my dr. I go tomorrow for my first fill.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
