How long does it take to be able to see again after a silicon enjection operation for diabetes persons?

I suppose you had a retinal detachment. I strongly recommend you to undergo an ophalmologist check. I would fear a fibrous tissue formation around silicone vesicles, which is a rather constant complication and of early occurrence.

That depends on how your body takes to the surgery. The doctor will give you an estimate.

I can give you a good medical miracle from God. Back in April, my brother was found in a coma with a Blood Sugar of 10. He was hospitalized in an ICU unit on a vent. The Dr's said they could find nothing wrong with him, as he had no past history of diabetes and after entering the hospital his blood sugar was normal. They didn't expect him to come off the vent and was talking about putting a tracheostomy in his neck. All of the church members where we attend church began praying for him day and night. After a few days he was completely off the vent without the Dr's doing anything to help this. After a few weeks, he was walking again, talking again and eating on his own. Again all to the Dr's surprise. They were totally baffled by it. After about 3 weeks in the hospital he was released to go home and is still doing very well. There's nothing God can't do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you & your friend and I will keep her in my prayers.

I am not a nurse or doctor,however,I have been diabetic (type 1) for 36 years. A normal blood sugar reading is between 80 and 120, At 190 sugar spills into your urine. That's when you become thirsty, beyond belief, and start to dehydrate. You will know every washroom in the city because of constant urination. I have been hospilized w/ a reading of about 1200. That was with taking insulin. I had dental work done, and the infection got the best of me. Your reading shows you that your sugar is high, but it is the way the sugar affects your organs that can be fatal. When I had my episode, my potassium levels were screaming high,my kidneys had shut down,I lost the vision in one eye from such a low blood pressure. I was in a coma for a day before anyone found me. I remained so for an additional five days. During that time I suffered a heart attack. Diabetes can be hard to control, even with insulin. Sometimes it becomes more complicated because of the insulin. If you can manage it without..DO IT! Get on a diet recommended by a dietition, get yourself a glucometer to check your sugar at home frequently. Exercise. Show your family the way to deal with it should they eventually have it. Your circulation is compromised, affecting your legs and feet, eyes, and kidneys, skin. High sugar means you will have a harder time fighting infections. Your teeth and gums will need extra care-and you are the only one that can do it. Don't become blind or on dialysis because you can't pass up a candy bar or a chunk of cake. your family needs you, and when you look at their smiling faces, you'll be grateful to be with them. I know I am telling you scary things. I wish someone had really explained to me HOW these things could come to pass. It's because it affects the smallest,tiniest blood vessels in your body. You don't always "just die" from diabetes. You could live a long time with what it can do to you. Good luck to you. I would be so proud of you if you could turn this thing around to become incredibley healthy. This would be the time to do that. If you see that your sugar is rising,for no apparent reason, such as large meal,eating fruit,etc.,call your doctor. It may be from a sinus infection, earache,cut that won't heal. The infection raises your sugar, your sugar makes it difficult to get rid of the infection. And so it goes..round and round. Don't wait for a huge spike in your numbers.

I work at a LASIK center, and have also had it done (a little over 2 years ago).\n\n1. No pain or discomfort. You may feel a little pressure on the eyes but nothing too bothersome.\n\n2. At our center, we offer patients 5-15 mg of Valium to help you relax and also help you sleep after the surgery.\n\n3. The valium helps you relax (like you've had about a drink or so) so your eyes shouldn't be moving too much. On top of that, you probably will be too worried to move them. Depending on what technology used (which laser - it may be a scanning or tracking laser) the laser may track any eye movements.\n\n4. After surgery, your vision may be blurry, you may be dilated for surgery as well. After a nap (a couple of hours, or maybe about 6 hours later) when you wake up, most people notice a difference and it just gets better the next day.\n\n5. Reading glasses are needed for those 40 or older after surgery. Those who are 40 have 2 options when considering LASIK. They can do full distance vision in both eyes, which they will need readers for anything within arm's length. The other option is monovision - one eye (most of the time, the dominant eye) and the other for reading. Which they will not need any readers, but with monovision one loses depth perception. \n\n6. At our office we recommend no eye makeup for 1 week after surgery. After that you can (I did) but the challenging part was not rubbing the eyes while taking it off. (No eye rubbing for 1 month after surgery).\n\n7. I did not have any complications with surgery. You may see halos, glaring and starbursts at night for the first week or two after but they will fade. Common side effects for some people are over or under correction (which they can do a retreatment to fix).\n\nGood luck! Don't worry too much. It's pretty easy (take the valium if your offered some it will definitely help!) You'll love your new vision afterwards, it's like a miracle!

My dad was doing it the next day!  But, the experts say:\n\nAngioplasty procedures last about 1½ to 2 hours, although preparation and recovery times add to the total time. You usually can start walking within 12 to 24 hours after angioplasty. The average hospital stay is 1 to 2 days for uncomplicated procedures. You may resume exercise and DRIVING after several days. http://www.questdiagnostics.com/kbase/topic/detail/other/tx4303/detail.htm

There is some discomfort, especialy for the first 24 to 36 hours.  Ice, pain meds help alot.  Most people have only mild discomfort (can tell they had the operation) after this period, and have no further discomfort after a couple of weeks.  Again - talk to your Urologist about his or her experience with patients.

I had the new laser eye surgery done.  I love it.  I am 27.  It has been over a year.  My right eye is a little dry at times, but it is so much better than fooling with contacts or glasses.  I definetly recommend it.  Just like all surgeries, there are complications.  I was very scared that I may never see again, but it turned out fine.  I would never do it again, but I am very glad I got up the nerve to do it.

I personally know someone who recieved laser eye surgery. For a while, he was fine, but he eventually went back to glasses.

There has been recent research in retinal implants, see:\nhttp://news.com.com/Retinal+implants+may+soon+restore+lost+vision/2100-11390_3-6057581.html\nand\nhttp://www.bostonretinalimplant.org/\nand\nhttp://www.neurotechreports.com/pages/DoEretinal.html\n\nOn April 29, 2006, a Nevada physician performed in a patient with RP, a procedure that might be a first of its kind, namely an Amniotic Stem Cells... see:\nhttp://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?storyid=8154&ret=news.aspx&cat=Business\n\nHope this helps!

My dentist said it could take up to a month to aclimate to the new implant. Had the one done, 2 weeks later would have never known that tooth was ever missing. Had the next one done, and my dentist still didn't understand why it's still killing me after 5 months. It's now been a little over a year, and although it still hurts, it's pretty lowgrade and still improving. But I still think it was worthwhile. Just my experience, hope yours is better.

It's not necessarily a question of "coming back," but rather of "was it actually removed."  More often than not, even well-meaning surgeons do not recognize the disease in all manifestations and/or leave implants behind because they do not feel confident in treating them (for example, on the bowel).  The other point to consider is whether the disease was treated through ablation or other superficial surgical means (fulguration, coagulation, vaporization, etc.).  Studies show if not completely and thoroughly excised (very different from ablation, etc.), symptoms will recur rapidly because the disease was only superficially treated.  Best bet is to seek out a qualified surgeon who treats Endo through surgical excision.  Feel better and remember you're not alone!

Only the surgery can do this. However, it will back to normal after for a period of time. So this is useless in long term unless you keep doing this kind of enlargement surgery

It depends on your levels of myopia , your cornea, your healing ability as well as other factors. In my case, it took at least ten days to see everything a little clearer again. It was very difficult for me to read letters on the computer in the first month after the surgery.\n\nI would strongly recommend you and your friend to read this website carefully before making a decision. You have only one pair of eyes, and therefore should not risk your most precious things. I have had lasik surgery myself, and if I were given a choice , I would never have it again. Please do not believe in those who can benefit from your surgery. What they aim at is money, and not your health. I think there is a new technique that helps shape your eyes and thus reduces your myopia without involving any operations at all.\n\nUseful website:\n\nhttp://www.lasikdisaster.com/

Follow the advice I took and things should return to normal shortly after getting your blood sugar stabilized. I actually had a couple of episodes where things went dark and blurry before getting diagnosed. Just get yourself on a serious health kick and you'll be fine in no time. You should find all you need to get started on my little diabetes info webpage...\nhttp://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html
