I've been having very blurry vision for the past month, I am a little over 3 months out. My vision was fine before surgery... But now, really starting to freak me out- even as I type this!! Anyone experience this after surgery? It has seriously been one thing after another, I don't know how much more I can take. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!! I'm so scared.

Yes, my BP is good, had it checked today. Had some bloodwork done too, I was thinking maybe I am hypoglycemic or have hypothyroidism because of all my symptoms. Fatigue, blurry vision, shakiness, can't sleep, confused and lathargic.. I've never felt good since day one. And I am tired of it all. I really do not know how much more I can take. This blurry vision really has me scared.

How much are you eating? Are you eating regularly enough? I find if I don't eat every 2.5 hours, I'm the same way. I'd introduce a small amount of trail mix to chomp on.. Good quality, low GI, blood sugar stabilising stuff.

are you taking anything for nausea? scopalamine Patches are nasty regarding vision...mine was blurred and it took several weeks for me to figure it out. i thought that the 7 weeks in the hospital OR my age changed my vision, but it was a medication. just something to think about...keep us posted!

I have been having blurry vision as well. Went to an ophthalmologist last week and did a bunch of testing. Everything looks normal so he said I should take 400 mg of magnesium a day and it has helped.

Certain nausea meds cause blurry vision. Are you still taking any regularly?

Thank you all for the replies., I really appreciate you all. I don't take any pain meds, just my vit, Iron and B12 shot. I guess I will have to wait to get blood tests back... I keep praying I will wake up and my vision will be back to normal :(

I’m a week plus after surgery and noticed a difference in my eye sight on day 3. I am near sighted and wear glasses 🤓. Normally I can use my glasses to see near and far, but now I need to take my glasses off to see up close. It’s driving me nuts, glasses on and off all day.

I was going to post something similar. I am also three months out from VSG and have noticed that I am starting to have issues reading things. It could totally be coincidental as I'm 45 so I'm not really freaking out about it and I don't have any other symptoms but I did notice a change in my vision in the last few weeks.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
