My brother in law had Bypass surgey recently. Three days afterwards hiccups started and lasted for two days. If the hiccups went away they most likely will not return. Sometimes surgery causes inflammation around the diaphragm - this can lead to a prolonged episode of hiccups. This inflammation resolves over a few days.
