Double Vision?

[hopeful07 0]

Hello Banded Family :help:

Has anybody experienced or heard of developing double vision after the lap-band surgery?

I noticed about 2-3 months after surgery that I was having double vision and it was getting worse so I went to the eye doc who said there was nothing wrong with my eyes and i should double up on my Vitamins since I had been banded. I was taking the liquid multi from GNC so I started taking it 2 times daily, that made the vision worse so I stopped taking them. Which seemed to help for a while but it has started back up again lately but not as severe as before. Then today something really strange happened with my legs, I was climbing the stairs at work only going from 2nd to 3rd floor which I do several times a day usually with no problem. I felt my legs get really weak and by the time I got near the top of the stairs my leg gave out and I collapsed into a squatting position and I could not lift myself back up for a minute and had to pull myself up using the handrail. The nurse said to get potassium and more fluids into me and go for bloodwork with my GP.

I know I cannot get to the doctor for at least another week or two and am just wondering if any of this sounds familiar to someone who could give me advise. Perhaps I need extra Protein or am lacking a specific Vitamin..those are my guesses but I hate wondering. I know I am getting plenty of food b/c I have yet to achieve good restriction and still eat more than most banded can/should but it's drastically less than I had been consuming pre-surgery.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback if you've heard of these symptoms related to banding before.

Thanks,
