Are you getting enough Protein and Water in. both dehydration and low protein levels can cause vision issues. Good Luck.

Are you taking or have you been given anti nausea meds in the hospital?

This is a common side affect..

Some people are given a patch, also to wear.

I had the exact same problem. They told me it was a side affect of the pain medication and anesthesia. It went away on day 4.

Yes they gave me tons of nause stuff plus the patch. No I have not enough Protein I'm on a clear liquid diet

Are you still taking them or wearing the patch?

The patch is notorious for vision problems (temporary)

If you are still on the meds or patch I would put a call into your doc. And let them know because it could become a problem.

I had the same problem. I was worried because years ago I had Lasix surgery and thought that the pressure from the anesthesia and everything messed me up! It gradually got better.

Hi Ashlee - I had this same patch for sea sickness and after wearing it for two days I couldn't even read a menu. I will have to wear it again just before surgery. If you check the label I bet there's a side effect warning on it. I know where you're coming from, I was a little scared before I realized what was causing it...after not wearing it for about 24 hours everything was back to normal. Good Luck!!!

Hi Ashlee-

My eyes were blurry & felt gritty for a little over 2wks....Dr. said it was from anesthesia & pain meds!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
