Hiccups (sorta?) when I'm full?

Hey all.... just wanted to ask you all....I've noticed in the past say 2 months or so, that when I'm "full" after a meal, I get -- well -- sorta hiccups? they come in like 2's or 3 quick little hiccups, and my wife and I now know that this usually means "I'm full!" anyone else ever get these? they're not really hiccups, but sorta like them? Jim

Hey Jim, I know the answer to this one, and I'm quite certain that Dx will be along in just a few to assist wit this one. I had posted a couple of days ago(Odd Question was the thread) about sneezing. Dx has one of his post/re-posts about the Vegus nerve. It's what does it. Something to do with the Vegus nerve is the answer. I'll leave the rest of the 'splainin' to you Dx!!! Troy

Troy, You must be getting pretty smart when you can start quoting the Dxe man. LOL I get the same sensation from time to time. BTW, where is Bunker Hill? I lived in Doddridge County for several years. Have a great day. No

Bunker Hill is in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia...right smack between Maryland and Virginia. I'm 10 miles outside of Charles Town, WVA.

Jim, The same thing happens to me, although not as often as it used to. I guess I'm learning to recognize the signals and quit eating sooner. May Your Lantern Burn Bright, Paul

Jim, 3 1/2+years out, and I still hiccup if I take One Bite Too Many- That, or get a runny nose. Pretty Common for RNY's. It has to do with that whole Vagal nerve signal Thang- Here's the thread Troy mentioned...... http://obesityhelp.com/forums/men/postdetail/50252.html?vc=0 And yep, that's usually it.... Stop One Bite Sooner...... Best Wishes- Dx

I don't experience hiccups after I eat or when I'm sorta full.....The only thing I experience is a fullness sensation and a watering mouth wanting more!

I get those hiccups too Jim. Only if I overeat a little though. As long as I stop before I get full I don't get them.

Jim, I get those same hiccups. It means the same for me--I'm full. I have to master the art of eating a little less so that I can avoid them. Jim

hey Jim, rarely will i hiccup. however, i always have a runny nose! i think they knicked my vegas nerve or something because i always look like i have a cold! not that big a deal but it gets boring wiping my nose all the time in front of customers and friends. i guess it's better than farting all the time!
