Help! - I'm blind

Just got banded yesterday and I'm having no fun at all. The recovery is very painful. One weird side effect, however, is that my vision has gobe all blurry. I cannot read and am having trouble just typing this note,

Anybody had this happen? Might be the painkillers but am open to anyone else's suggestions.

    I would call your doctor immediately!!! It is not normal to have blurred vision post any type of surgery.

    I did some more checking into it. Apparently it is a specific combination of the anesthetic during the procedure combined with pain killers afterwards that can have this effect. It's supposed to be temprary and I am happy to report does appear to be improving.
