Actually one lens makes it mono vision which is what my LASIK was originally

I am almost 6 months out after sleeve & my eyes are driving me NUTS! I have always worn glasses but am needing to now take them off to do anything up close, like trim my nails. I am also taking them off to read often. With it being 6 mos. out, is it safe now to get a new prescription? I'd hate to have my vision change again after spending the money!

Hi my vision started to blur the day I got on the diet and has gotten worst ever since. I'm very worried. It started on one eye, then both now my vision is blurry on both eyes and both near and far. Please help, I'm freaking out.

I have a great optometrist who told me a few years ago when I had lost 50 lbs dieting that rapid weight loss can cause temporary changes in vision. Sure enough, the glasses I got that day needed to be changed 3 months later--things had returned to pretty much what they had been before the weight loss. I think it's safe to expect we'll have some changes, at least temporary ones.

Please talk to an eye doctor. It could be as simple as changes in your blood sugar but I am not a clinician. You should talk to someone who is! BTW if you Google it you'll find articles on blurred vision with high blood sugar, and also with low blood sugar. Both can have a temporary effect on the lens in the eye. Nothing scary--just temporary. Always best to check with a professional when it comes to your eyesight! Don't let it scare you but get it checked out so you won't worry...

Yesssss! Oh my you are not alone! I'm 47 and I have to wear my cheaters around my neck at all times. I thought I was the only one dealing with this problem! Thank you for posting. Now I feel better that it's not just me.

I am definitely noticing a change. Asked my surgeon's office about it yesterday and they said, yes - others had commented. Also that I should go ahead and schedule appointment with opthomalogist - it's due - because vision change is usually permanent.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
