New To Site - Quick Question



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody. I have been lingering on the site for a few months now and this is my first post. I had my surgery on Tuesday and everything went good. I have a little bit of pain in my shoulder and in back and ribs but not to bad. I came home yesterday and had a good nights rest. I woke up this morning and put my glasses on and it seems like my vision is blurry? It was fine yesterday and fine after I came out of surgery on Tuesday so I am really nervous as to why today my vision is blurry. Has anyone experienced this?

Have not had this experience but call your doctor. There is always someone on

Are you a diabetic? Have you checked your blood sugar? I came home off my meds but check my blood sugar regularly. Blurred vision can occur if your blood glucose is high.

Odd..... never heard that before. Hope it clears up right away. Don't be afraid to call the Hospital and ask. Maybe it is a side affect of surgery or anastisia (spelling???)

Congrats on getting banded! Best of Luck on your journey!

Did they put a patch behind your ear for nausea? If so remove it now! That is one of the side effects if tge patch. . .my nurse told me to watch for changes in vision, and if I had any to remove the patch!

I did have the patch but they took it off yesterday before I left the hospital. I am wondering if it is a side effect of the Roxicet that they gave me for the pain. It seems to be better now but I hadn't taken any of the pain med since 4 am this morning. I just took a dose now so we will see if it gets blurry again. I have horrible anxiety anyway so every little thing that is different freaks me out.

I'm a week out today. My vision has been a little wonkie since surgery. One of the meds they have me on has a blurry vision side effect though. Mine is very slight. If it was bad, I'd definitely call the emergency number.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
