Eyesight any differnt?



Recommended Posts

Anyone notice a difference in their vision? I kind of played about it last night, but my husband handed me his phone to read something and it was so blurry. I said to him must be because I've slept on & off all day. He said that a lack of nutrition. I just had my eye checked!!

Yes! I'm 3 weeks out and still not completely right yet. My surgeon said that every body system is affected and it is normal. I'm ready for this to go away.

My eyesight has gone down hill since the surgery as well... at least it seems that way. I finally went in and had my eyes checked and there was a slight decrease in my vision. I don't have any idea if this is related to the sleeve or just due to the fact that I'm getting older. Could be a bit of both, I guess.

Lack of Vitamin A ! I was having that issue and doctor did blood work said mine A was low, taking extra Vitamin A daily, much better now !

I noticed a vision change after surgery. I didn't think to ask my surgeon about it (wouldn't that be silly. Actually using follow up appointments for asking questions. ;)...) at any rate, I got my eyes checked. I didn't wait a full year for the next chekup. My eyesight had changed a good deal. Was it the surgery or being 51. My eyesight has always been good, though.

Something to think about.

I was blurry for a week but the anesthesiologist warned me that the Scopolamine patch would do that.

Had my 8wk post-up doctor appt last week.

I told my surgeon my eye sight has been bothering me and super blurry, especially when driving at night time. He's having my blood checked and all Vitamins. He said I might be low on Vitamin A. Haven't gone to do lab work yet, since I have to fast and don't have coverage at work, but after reading your post, I'm also going to go buy Vitamin A in the mean time.

Good luck to everyone, be safe and thank you for sharing. : )

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
