Question:
does anyone else have blurred vision after surgery?

Open-RNY 4 weeks ago, my husband 1 week ago. we both have this condition. we're not on any meds. I've never worn glasses. he does but even those don't help.    — Sue C. (posted on August 25, 2002)

If you were diabetic pre op the dropping blood sugars post op can cause this. But do check with your surgeon & PCP. Also a big change in blood pressure can cause blurriness in a few folks.

Hi, I don't know if you are having the blurred vision all of the time, but I was told that blurred vision can be a sign of "dumping". If its not happening all of the time, you might want to see what you've eaten recently. Good luck.

I get blurred vision when I get dehydrated. How is your fluid intake.

I think it's from the anesthesia. I remember having the same problem. It will pass.

My surgeon requires his patients to take B12 vitamins after surgery - a PERMANENT result of a B12 deficiency is blindness. If you aren't taking B12 - please get some right away. Hugs GMSKAT

It's not a typical normal sign, I would run, not walk to the doctor and get it checked out. Why play around with your eye sight. Good Luck!
