Has anyone had PRK eye surgery ( similar to Lasik ) I had it recently and I am worried bc I know when I have the sleeve on the 20th of April they will tape my eyes closed. I won't even be 1 month out from eye surgery and I'm super worried they will mess my eyes up. Anyone else have PRK right before sleeve surgery?

you should/need to talk to the doc who performed the PRK

call surgeons office too for his comments

better safe than sorry

we're here to give advice

suggestions, experiences

my "thought" is there shouldn't be a problem

but at the end of the day

always listen to your doc/surgeon

he's the expert

I googled PRK

understand the pros and cons

wasn't made clear end results

which has better results??

PRK or Lasik???

I took a dummy pill this morning instead of my Vitamin

hope surgery went well and you are happy with the results

WLS in 2 weeks

you are on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life

good luck

Thank you, both the eye surgeon and my sleeve surgeon said it will be ok I'm just nervous.

With Lasik the cut and with PRK they don't cut so there is less risk for infection or screw up. I had a horrible astigmatism so PRK corrects that and Lasik doesn't so the obvious choice for me was PRK. It's more costly and takes longer to heal but the pros out weight the cons!
