Blurry vision after this surgery is not uncommon

The after affects of the anesthesia, some pain meds and especially the anti nausea meds.

In particular the anti nausea Patches.

Let your doctor know your concerns though :)

I am actually kind of glad to see this post, and response from Laura-Ven. I am past it now, but I too had blurred vision for a bit post op. Also some very slight memory issues. As I said all have passed. ( I was sleeved 10/21) But for a while I was really worried. I did have a lot of problems with the anesthesia ( could not wake up) and I had SEVERE nausea. So hearing that both anesthesia and anti nausea meds can cause these issues makes total and complete sense to me. I am glad to know I am not too abnormal!!! LOL

Are you taking Levsin (hyoscyamine). I'm one week out and having blurry vision, too. It's listed as one of the side effects for this med.

I had the same issues with the anesthesia because this was my first surgery ever and I'm just waiting to get passed it all! Thanks so much for responding and letting me know you are over it!

I am not taking any medication for anything so the blurred vision is just from the anesthesia and the Vitamin deficiencies my body is facing. All common and temporary.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
