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!

      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. 🤞
