Blurry vision after surgery



Recommended Posts

My vision was blurry after surgery, but that was due to a side effect of the scopolamine patch (patch to help prevent nausea). When patch was off my vision cleared up!!

OK this is driving me crazy too. I thought the blurry vision was just from looking at my phone too much but now I am really struggling to see my computer at work. I don't have a patch for nausea and am not on blood pressure med and my diabetes is now in remission Wonder if this is just a coincidence or is related to the surgery somehow?

@@BENNYB - Thanks. I am actually 5 1/2 months out so I don't think it is surgery related. I have an eye dr appt Wednesday. Maybe I'm just old! :D

I noticed this at about 20 lbs lost....doc said its common to have small changes in vision and hearing due to losing fat behind your eyes and around ear canal. Who knew?

I thought it was just me!!!

In fact, I have noticed it so much that I had to make an eye appointment for next week.

I hope it's not as bad as I think! I literally just filled a years worth of contacts - if I have to go out and buy another years worth, I'll be kinda pissed!

(I'm sure costco will exchange though)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
