Wierd situation with my eyes



Recommended Posts

Last night I ate a 3 ounces hamburger patty that didn't agree with me. Almost immediately i threw it back up! There was even a little blood in with it. I called my bariatric nurse and she said to not be alarmed and take pepcid ac for 2 weeks and go liquid for 24 hours. About 2 - 3 hours later my eyes looked wierd. They had these red splotches all around them like an allergic reaction. I have never had a reaction to anything. I had not even taken the pepcid yet. My sister is a nurse and she gave me some benedryl and eye drops. I took 2 benedryl last night. This morning it is worse. Same puffy red spotchy around eyes. Now my eyeballs have red blood pools at the bottoms. Has anyone ever had this happen after throwing up??

Most likely you ruptured vessels in your eyes from the strain of throwing up. I would however, give your doctor another call, or have your eye doctor check them out. The tissue puffiness AROUND the eye could be something as simple as allergies. But you won't know unless you see your provider.

I had burst blood vessels in my eye when i woke up from surgery. It is scary looking but not dangerous and it goes away in several weeks.

That sounds like spontaneous hemorraghing relating to throwing up. I had that once about 30 years ago when I threw up during a kidney xray test when the dye made me vomit on the xray table. Looks like crap but goes away on its own. Sorry you were that sick!

Wanted to give an update to my eye situation. I went to my eye doctor and my regular physician. I have ruptured blood vessels in my eyes - not serious though. My regular dr. says it is actually not uncommon for throwing up. I will take 7 - 10 days to heal so for now I look really wierd. But the good thing is that it will heal and no problems!:thumbup:

        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
