1 week post op and I am dizzy with blurred vision? Anyone else get this?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

My surgery was on 10/10...I have had a lot of pain and still do just not as bad. More so than the other guy who had it on same day as me. But I had a bad cough and I think that was why I was having trouble healing. However, things seemed to be going ok then I noticed yesterday I was dizzy and had blurred vision..I am having trouble even typing this. With that then the nausea started too. I switched back to liquid only but all I wanna do is sleep. I called my nurse and she said this was normal. Has anyone else experienced this?

On the brighter side, I dropped all my Water weight and an additional 8 pounds since being released from hospital :)

Grand total lost since start of this was 28 pounds ( I didn't add in the water weight)

When i went in for my 2 week check up i told them I felt like the room was always off kilter a bit and if i bent over i got sparks and was so dizzy all the time. They took my bl;ood pressure ( which ran 170/110's before) and it was 90/60!!! They asked if i had cut back on the blood pressure meds like they said..yes ma'am every other day..she said STOP NOW! and contact my PCP for follow up with it. He took me off them completely and i started feeling better within a week.

I'm not sure if this is what's happening to you but if blood pressure was an issue, you might want to check that.

I had blurred vision for a good week post-op. For me I was told it was normal and it would pass and that was true.

No dizziness for me, although for my hubby (who is also sleeved) he was the same as the above poster...he was told to keep taking his BP meds and 10 days post-op he passed out. Our PCP immediately took him off all BP meds and he has been without ever since. (He is 7 months postop.)

Well that makes sense. I've always had high blood pressure that I take medicine for but in the hospital my bp was reading low like 80/43 and they almost were not gonna release me . Plus when I got home they told me to resume my meds. I will have to have them check it on my 2 week post op. Thanks...I love this site

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
