Eyesight any differnt?

Anyone notice a difference in their vision? I kind of played about it last night, but my husband handed me his phone to read something and it was so blurry. I said to him must be because I've slept on & off all day. He said that a lack of nutrition. I just had my eye checked!!

Yes! I'm 3 weeks out and still not completely right yet. My surgeon said that every body system is affected and it is normal. I'm ready for this to go away.

. -*not just me*

My eyesight has gone down hill since the surgery as well... at least it seems that way. I finally went in and had my eyes checked and there was a slight decrease in my vision. I don't have any idea if this is related to the sleeve or just due to the fact that I'm getting older. Could be a bit of both, I guess.

Lack of vitamin A ! I was having that issue and doctor did blood work said mine A was low, taking extra vitamin A daily, much better now !

I noticed a vision change after surgery. I didn't think to ask my surgeon about it (wouldn't that be silly. Actually using follow up appointments for asking questions. ;)...) at any rate, I got my eyes checked. I didn't wait a full year for the next chekup. My eyesight had changed a good deal. Was it the surgery or being 51. My eyesight has always been good, though.

Something to think about.

I was blurry for a week but the anesthesiologist warned me that the Scopolamine patch would do that.

Had my 8wk post-up doctor appt last week.

I told my surgeon my eye sight has been bothering me and super blurry, especially when driving at night time. He's having my blood checked and all Vitamins. He said I might be low on Vitamin A. Haven't gone to do lab work yet, since I have to fast and don't have coverage at work, but after reading your post, I'm also going to go buy vitamin A in the mean time.

Good luck to everyone, be safe and thank you for sharing. : )
