Changes in vision since surgery.

I went to the DMV yesterday to renew my license. I had a terrible time seeing the rows. She marked me as having 50/60. So I promptly made an appt to get my eyes checked out. I am so glad that I told the dr. that I had RNY! She explained to me that as you lose weight your sugar level change and it could make your eye sight worse. She recommended that I get vision screenings more frequently b/c my script may change drastically. It really freaked me out when I couldn't read what they were asking me too (at the DMV) b/c I drive around with my 3 babies in the car. I am so glad that I went and got the checked and found that info out. I never would have know that. So, by this time next week I should be rockin my new purple glasses.

 WOW, thank you!  I wish my optometrist would have mentioned that to me before I went and bought a years supply of contacts.  This explains why I'm sqinting at my computer monitor at the office.  :-(

I thought it was just coincidence.
So, I wonder when it stabilizes. I cant afford to change my glasses if I'm gonna have to do it again in 6 months or something.

Good to know there is a reason for it.  Thought it was just me.

IDK when it stabilizes. Perhaps when we are done loosing? Yeah, the girl even talked me out of the 2 yr. extended warranty on my glasses b/c of it. I am so glad I told her. So just a heads up that your vision can change as you lose.

My prescription has been changed each year since RNY.  I can tell because I do a lot of readig and knitting every day.  I also have a Vit A deficiency since RNY.  I use Vitalady Tender Vit A 25,000 and my levels are coming up.  I eat Vit A rich food every day (raw) but with malabsorption can't depend on the food to correct the deficiency.

I do have low blood sugar (Reactive Hypoglycemia) too.

Best to have frequent exams and stay on top of labs.

 Thanks for the info I been going crazy thinking i am losing it. My vision is all whacked up I better get on it and call the eye doctor!

Me too....SO glad OP shared this!
