I get the hiccups every once in a while just out of the blue, They are fierce and I only get one or two.

Could this be caused by a hernia?

it happens without eating or drinking so i know it's not my body telling me i am full.

 

I had a hiatel hernia repair during my surgery and haven't had any hiccups until the past week ( im 3.5 months out )

 

any advice would be appreciated, i see my surgeon on Monday for my 4 month follow up

I've had hiccups and have been gas'y ever since my surgery almost 5 years ago. I find eating very slow helps. 

I did have a hernia that they found last week...

I randomly get hiccups too,  BUT I had issues with hiccups before surgery, I got them a lot. I have no idea what it could be.  I have never had a hernia so not sure. But good luck, curious as to what your surgeon will say Monday.

I get them randomly as well. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when I get them either. They are painful ones too!

13 years post and randomly get them too and they are painful. I have had three hernia surgeries post RNY ....lots of open surgeries so weak skin. My hiccups were not hernia related.
