BethinPA 305 Posted March 30, 2013 It happened to me also, and I was not taking anything for nausea. It was really upsetting! But, it did pass in a matter of weeks. I personally think it has something to do with anesthesia. 1 TTL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grubb79 10 Posted March 30, 2013 I struggled with the same thing the first few days. Thought I was going crazy...then I realized it was the pain medicine! Once I stopped it everything went back to normal. I remember trying to text a phone # to someone after 3 tries I gave up everything was running together. Keep your head up - it'll get better I'm sure! 1 TTL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See thats what i told my husband to look at side effect of the pain meds but he said the one he gave me there was none on it about vision problems. I am ready for this to pass i so miss this site... It has been such a life saver for me thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie Dust 526 Posted March 30, 2013 That's exactly the reason I love this site! I have learned so much more here than anything I've been told or asked the bariatric nurse. I just hope when it's my turn, I don't forget all that I've read! Good luck to you! I have enough vision problems as it is since I have a blocked tear duct & my eyes tear all the time. Looks like I'm constantly crying...so everything is blurry all the time. My issue will involve surgery & I'm just not ready for that right now. Something about installing stints where the blocked canal is. EEK! I get nervous enough just applying eyeliner! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
