It happened to me also, and I was not taking anything for nausea. It was really upsetting! But, it did pass in a matter of weeks. I personally think it has something to do with anesthesia.

I struggled with the same thing the first few days. Thought I was going crazy...then I realized it was the pain medicine! Once I stopped it everything went back to normal. I remember trying to text a phone # to someone after 3 tries I gave up everything was running together. Keep your head up - it'll get better I'm sure!

See thats what i told my husband to look at side effect of the pain meds but he said the one he gave me there was none on it about vision problems. I am ready for this to pass i so miss this site... It has been such a life saver for me thanks again! :)

That's exactly the reason I love this site! I have learned so much more here than anything I've been told or asked the bariatric nurse. I just hope when it's my turn, I don't forget all that I've read! Good luck to you! I have enough vision problems as it is since I have a blocked tear duct & my eyes tear all the time. Looks like I'm constantly crying...so everything is blurry all the time. My issue will involve surgery & I'm just not ready for that right now. Something about installing stints where the blocked canal is. EEK! :o I get nervous enough just applying eyeliner! :wacko:

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
