Climbing stairs is not a problem. Also, sleeping in your bed works great. A little hard to turn and get out of bed but you can. Just the first 2 days are difficult muscle wise. Couldn't turn to my sides till 3rd day. Good luck.

Hello everyone. I too was banded June 23 and am also experiencing the same symptoms. I swear if they stuck a pin in my stomach, I would act like a balloon and you would never find me. I tried to work a few hours yesterday and I literally made myself sick. I couldn't function and even ran a low grade fever. I am taking GasX and it too is not helping much. I am walking and staying active but the gas pushes out my stomach and I look 6 months pregnant. It doesn't hurt, it just makes my stomach feel very full and puts pressure on the incisions. Now I have started the burping. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired so don't know if that complicates the problem more. How much longer with this gas?:tt2:
