Hiccups
I had my vsg preforms on Wednesday Oct 12th, healing great but I am fighting hiccups! I used to never get hiccups but I am assuming having my innards jostled around is what os causing the problem. Nothing can prepare me for the hiccups, does anyone have any reccommendations?

VSG: 10/12/16
During weight loss surgery, my surgeon cut my vagus nerve. He told me that cutting the nerve would eliminate hunger. I have no hunger, but do have hiccups and/or runny nose if I eat too much. Sometimes I start sneezing. All symptoms have to do with the vagus nerve either having been severed during surgery or being compresed from too much food.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I also get hiccups if I've eaten too fast or too much. For me, having a warm drink seems to help.
That one extra bite is the thing that can push me over the edge......or if I'm not paying attention to eating and end up gulping something.

I hiccupped like crazy for weeks post-op. Your still-swollen stomach is probably irritating your diaphragm, initiating the hiccups. If they become too bothersome, call your surgeon.
Even now, more than a year and a half later, I hiccup when I eat even a mouthful too much. I welcome the hiccups because they're a warning system telling me to slow down and eat less the rest of the day.
