Has anyone had some blurry vision after surgery. I just got new glasses back in Feb 2011 and things were just fine. Well, then I had my VSG surgery this past Tuesday Aug 2nd and now I'm having a hard time with blurry vision.

You know its funny you say that because the same thing happen to me. I could see better without my glasses the first day or two. But now things are back to normal.

I had some issues also after surgery but at my 6 month check up I was low on Vitamin A which is essentail for the eyes. I am now on a supplement and will have it rechecked at my one yr followup. Make sure that you are taking all of your Vitamins.< /p>

Yes! Scared the heck outa me! For about 5 days after surgery I could not see anything up close. My friends were texting me to see how I was and I couldn't answer them, I had my mom just call them. I was praying my sight would come back bc I do hair and nails and I had always had 20 20 vision. Thankfully 2 days b4 surgery it returned.

I had all kinds of blurry vision, turned out my eyes improved by a whole number in each eye. Doc attributes it to stable blood sugars. Wait it out if you can so you don't spend too much in glasses:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
