Funny how this surgery changes you

I wonder if I can now call myself lily livered? Weak stomached?

I've always had a cast Iron gut, but I went in to have a "Phototherapeautic Keratectomy" done on my left eye on Thursday - a procedure I've put off twice through fear. In the end living with constant corneal erosions got worse than the thought of the surgery - where they basically scrape off your cornea with a blade and finish it off with a laser. While you're conscious I might add:omg:

Anyhow, they made me take two Panadeine Forte prior to surgery (strong codeine) and then a Maxolon because the Panadeine Forte can cause nausea. Not in me I said. I never get sick from that stuff. But anyhow, when it came to take the next lot of painkillers I didnt take the Maxolon. Boy oh boy did I feel sick!!! I had to take it quick smart or I would have vomited. That is so unlike me!

Oh well, lost a bit of weight over the last few days, lol. All better now, but have to schedule my right eye some time in the next few months.

Does anyone else here suffer from a corneal dystrophy at all? Mine's map dot fingerprint dystrophy.

I know what you mean,,, usually I take a Vitamin supplement, but not since banding, I get so nauseous, I had to move to a liquid form so I could dilute it with Water. I wonder if these things are just sitting our larger pouch of the stomach and opening there.?
