Are you getting enough Protein and Water in. both dehydration and low protein levels can cause vision issues. Good Luck.

Are you taking or have you been given anti nausea meds in the hospital?

This is a common side affect..

Some people are given a patch, also to wear.

I had the exact same problem. They told me it was a side affect of the pain medication and anesthesia. It went away on day 4.

Yes they gave me tons of nause stuff plus the patch. No I have not enough Protein I'm on a clear liquid diet

Are you still taking them or wearing the patch?

The patch is notorious for vision problems (temporary)

If you are still on the meds or patch I would put a call into your doc. And let them know because it could become a problem.

I had the same problem. I was worried because years ago I had Lasix surgery and thought that the pressure from the anesthesia and everything messed me up! It gradually got better.

Hi Ashlee - I had this same patch for sea sickness and after wearing it for two days I couldn't even read a menu. I will have to wear it again just before surgery. If you check the label I bet there's a side effect warning on it. I know where you're coming from, I was a little scared before I realized what was causing it...after not wearing it for about 24 hours everything was back to normal. Good Luck!!!

Hi Ashlee-

My eyes were blurry & felt gritty for a little over 2wks....Dr. said it was from anesthesia & pain meds!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

      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.
