Besleeve it

I hope that I will be a December sleever. My pre op labs showed I have an h pylori infection. Who knew?? Never even heard of it. I was horrified when I read about it and how it spreads. I don't know how I got it or how long I've had it...just know I want it gone. Dr had me give a stool sample to be sure but I'll bet my last Twinkie that I'll have to go on antibiotics for two weeks to get rid of it. Everyone seems to get sick from the meds. Once I am clear from h pylori, I'm ready for surgery. Anyone else have this problem?

I'll stay as long as they want. Need two more pounds off to meet my pre op goal. The scale hasn't moved in three days...grrrrrr... Having to wait a month for my appt with the shrink, but at least by then I should have lost those last two pounds. Really hoping to have surgery before Christmas. I'm at Kaiser Sacramento. I have friends in the program at other KP facilities and I've noticed some differences in their programs.

I'm in the Kaiser program in Northern California. I havent had surgery yet....hopefully soon.....I was told to expect to stay in the hospital at least overnight. Mymsurgeon said its mainly for pain management while on an iv. If there's any complications, they will keep you longer.
