Yes I've had a great amount of it after surgery. It has settled down but I do wonder if my vision has changed. Unfortunately it's a while off until my yearly exam.

Not only was my vision blurry....but my eyesight has become extremely worse! I got a new pair of prescription eyeglasses in January '12....by February, they were useless (I was sleeved in Dec '11). I have to squint to see thru my glasses and even then it's still hard to read/see things. I talked to my NUT about this but she just acted like it was another one of those "stages" that us sleevers go through. Im just wondering if my sight will ever improve, stay the same or get worse? With my vision insurance plan, I can only get a pair of glasses every 2 years...ugh!

I got new glasses just before surgery, then had to go back to wearing my old ones by October, 2011. I just decided a few weeks ago to put the new ones back on and now they work very well. I don'[t know if it's sleeve related, but that was my experience.

Also sleeved in May and experiencing reduced vision. I thought it was ageing and had not thought it could be sleeve related. Optometrist time I guess!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
