Hi everyone!

I had my sleeve surgery on sept 2013.... I reached my weight goal, and no diabetes or hbp meds!

But, Im very concerned and want to know if anyone have vision or eye problems? I use eye glasses and contact lenses for long time ago....but 4 months after the surgery I began to notice a change in my left eye...Now its worse! My left eye crossed when I try to focus at distance....I saw 2 eye doctors and they cant tell me whats wrong with my eye! I'm desperate because I even drive my car.....anyone with this issue?!

Thank you so much!!

Water? Are you drinking enough? Our eyes need lots of it but I can't think of what else might be causing it. Sorry.

There's an archived article that addresses vision issues after WLS on OAC's website. It talks about Vitamin A deficiencies as a possible cause (but you can get too much Vitamin A, which also has effects on vision). You may want to ask about having your levels checked.

Update, I went to my pcp today, she send me to do a lot of blood work, and a head mri.

Then, will we wait the results to see what cause my eye problem. She told me about nerve, or muscle eye problems, tumor, or lyme disease or some infection.... Will see....

News: After MRI, Neurological test, drs appointments, they think I have a eye muscle problem. No accidents, no previous issues, just my sleeve and my weight lost.... :( Now, I have to use prism eye glasses, and waiting for a eye surgery to try to repair my problem. I just can say, that I know that my problem its related with my weight loss and I always take my Vitamins, Water, etc...

      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?

      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
