When did you start drinking coffee?
2 weeks out i started with iced decaf then after another 2 weeks i went to half-caf. Now i have either a small half caf or full caffiene. my nutritionist said a cup of coffee a day was fine as long as i made sure to drink equal or more h2o to make up for Fluid loss.

For Those Who Work, How long were you off?
2 weeks. it was the perfect amount of time. (i had 0 complications or pain after surgery) i went back with a 10lb lifting restriction for a month. Like Barry suggests..if your job is very physical-consider more time off.

H Pylori
check with your doctor. my blood levels were elevated so i was put on 2 weeks of antibiotics and then 2 weeks after that i had surgery. they did do a test on my stomach tissue and found no h. pylori. you should be able to have surgery after the antibiotics. good luck!
