See surgeon...: Hiccup does happen, but rarely, after general anesthesia for surgery including lap chole. Meanwhile, record the feature and degree of all symptoms with detailed sequence of events and attention to if it's related with eating, positioning, etc., and bring those to see, talk, and work with your surgeon, who usually can explain what might be and help you how to relieve it. Best wish ... Always.

Hard to say: This is an unusual potential complication of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, especially after six days. If you're having no other symptoms i would suggest that this has nothing to do with the cholecystectomy. You should see your doctor or your surgeon and get evaluated find out what is going on.
