They hurt like hell !!! I'm 9 days post-op and they come about 3 x's a day for 5 minutes. I almost end up in tears each time. Did anybody else get these awful things? Nothing helps make them go away

 Its probably related to eating or drinking too fast.  Do you notice that they come close to a meal time or when you are drinking?  Are you drinking with a straw - if so its easier to drink faster than you should.

They are never when I eat or drink. I gave up straws before surgery and it will be when I'm doing nothing or walking. My first thought was I was drinking to fast but NOPE grrrr.

For hiccup relief, have you tried drinking upside-down? I've gotten them about 3 times since surgery (which was one day before you) and I take a medium-sized sip of water into my mouth, bend forward CAREFULLY as far as is comfortable, and then swallow. This has always worked for me in the past.

I got them like that too right at first. But it ended a couple weeks post op for me. Now I only get them for about 30 seconds after I drink or eat sometimes. Maybe once every other day. But no where near as painful, just annoying now.

I used to get them all the time too - not necessarily after eating or drinking - just out of the blue.  I would actually hiccup and burp a lot at the same time.  It basically went away, not really sure when.  Let's just say I'm 7 weeks out and only get them on very rare occasions. I think it will just pass.
