Did you have an anti-nausea patch behind your ear? If so, you may have touched it and then touched your eyes and this will cause dilated pupils and blurry vision.

Do you have diabetes? If so, are you still on your meds? Do not come off those too quickly right after surgery.

The side effect of many pain medications and antibiotics is blurred vision. You are most likely experiencing a side effect of one of your meds. It will go away after you get off them.

I did not have the 'patch' and have not had any problems with nausea. The Dr stopped my diabetes meds the day before surgery and my diabetes has been under control. I have not had pain meds for the last three days. everything is going extreemly well except for this blurry vision.

i was just wondering if this is a common problem

i had this for about five days post op. I think it is related to either the anesthesia or the narcotics although my last narcotic was on day 2. it went away on day 7

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
