Eyesight any differnt?



Recommended Posts

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.

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. : )

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
