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

[PJ713 1]

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
