I'm home! and Hiccups?

I had my surgery on Thursday morning, got home yesterday (Saturday) about 3pm.  Everything went really well, I was pleasantly surprised at how good I felt post-op!  I guess I was expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and got something in between as the saying goes.  I feel like I got punched in the stomach once or twice, but otherwise my energy level is good and my pain is easily controlled by the meds.

I'm so glad the surgery is over and I have joined you on the loser's bench!

One thing I'm wondering about....hiccups!  It seems I get them a lot now, how do I prevent them?  They sometimes come when I'm not eating or drinking anything, and usually go away just as quickly as they came.  so weird!

Thanks!

 Congrats on your surgery and that everything went well!! 

Hm, I guess I never noticed that I get hiccups any more or less than before.  I hate them though, I get painful hiccups that last forever.   Since they are caused by excess air, I would just be very careful about how you are taking in your liquid food for now and make sure that you aren't gulping or anything.  

Good luck!!

HI!!  Congrats and welcome!!  I totally relate to the hiccup problem.  I literally woke up from surgery with them and have gotten them on and off ever since.  Like you said they come on quickly, they are POWERFUL, and leave after 3 or 4 hiccups.  I don't know if they hurt or are just uncomfortable.  I did read on Q & A that some surgeons says to call immediately if you are experiencing this but I never had that in any of my paperwork.  SO you might want to check yours out.  I get them on avg about 10 times a day and it is very annoying.  I totally feel you pain!!!

 congrats!!!! i'm glad ur doing good.
