Did you have an anti-nausea patch behind your ear? If so, you may have touched it and then touched your eyes and this will cause dilated pupils and blurry vision.

Do you have diabetes? If so, are you still on your meds? Do not come off those too quickly right after surgery.

The side effect of many pain medications and antibiotics is blurred vision. You are most likely experiencing a side effect of one of your meds. It will go away after you get off them.

I did not have the 'patch' and have not had any problems with nausea. The Dr stopped my diabetes meds the day before surgery and my diabetes has been under control. I have not had pain meds for the last three days. everything is going extreemly well except for this blurry vision.

i was just wondering if this is a common problem

i had this for about five days post op. I think it is related to either the anesthesia or the narcotics although my last narcotic was on day 2. it went away on day 7

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
