Blurry Vision One Week Out Of Surgery

Before surgery I had 20/20 and ever since the surgery last tuesday ive had blurry vision. I know its because im not taking in the Vitamins and such but is there anything i can do about it? I guess im just worried.

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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
