Changes in eyesight post Gastric Bypass

[Guest guest]

I have a male pt who is 3 months out from his gastric bypass with a normal post

op course and great po intake. He complains of changes in his vision (close up

vision, correctable with reading glasses) that the eye dr says is due to

anethesia. He is wondering about a nutritional compoenent.

His preop labs were unremarkable - suboptimal B12, and iron, slightly elevated

HgbA1c but folate, B1, vit D and protein WNL. We did not run vit A, Zn, Cu, etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
