Hi I’m in the UK and am a week post Nissan fundoplication. I’m on the liquid diet for two weeks and today feel like I’ve got something stuck at the base of my throat accompanied by hiccups. All very bizarre as I’ve had nothing more than soup today. The only thing I had that was different was a herbal tea and it was a bit hot - should drinks be room temp and could a hot drink have made me feel like this?

I am sorry that you are dealing with this. My significant other has had the same for over 3 yrs now. Movement, drinking or eating causes hiccups. He has to gag himself to remove saliva that is stuck in this throat and stop hiccups. He just had his esophagus stretched this week and it has not helped. The Dr said that his esophagus no longer works. It is horrible as his sleep is interrupted and gagging wears him out.

Your poor partner - I hope he resolves the problem.
Other than the hiccups I feel great so far so hoping they will improve with time.
