Hiccups

Thread Starter  

Has anyone experienced hiccups during the healing process? I know laughing and coughing is painful, but hiccups might be unbearable! :embarassed:

Actually YES, I have had the hiccups quite frequently since my banding. I usually don't have hiccups so I had been wondering if this was due to my surgery. Your right, it is painful. Although it is short lived. Good luck with your procedure and let us know if you have that experience also.

Yep, I had hiccups during my recovery and I still get them occasionally if I eat too quickly. Luckily they haven't really hurt...just annoying!

Yes, hiccups are normal. I get them all the time.

I don't get "the hiccups" but I'll hiccup a couple of times in a row several times a day. Enough that I have had people comment about it. "You sure do hiccup a lot!" Stuff like that. It doesn't hurt after a couple of weeks post-op unless it's a really deep hiccup. But those hurt before surgery, too, so it's not really a big deal.

Congrats, and welcome to bandland!

I got hiccups right after I started walking right after my surgery, it was painful as hell.

:faint:
