Two Protein shakes and a lean protein filled meal. ..... Not bad. My starting weight was 398...today I weighed 361....i wonder how much weight I will lose in the 2 weeks of the pre op diet....I guess we will see. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Ms. Thompson.... Thank you for replying. I also felt the same way...Thinking maybe it's a sign from God not to get surgery. But it can also be a test as in to see how committed we are to get our surgery. About the yeast infection..yea it's terrible. Antibiotics fix one problem and give you another one. You should definitely look into speaking with you bariatric office to see if you need a second test, that way you don't waste anytime. Wish you good luck and hopefully we both come out ok ????

Well I've been on the journey to get my sleeve surgery since last year. Right when I am done with all the appointments and tests, I get a call from my bariatric doctor's office. The PA called me and told me that in my stool sample they detected H- Pylori. It's a bacteria found in the stomach. Some symptoms are vomiting, irritable bowel syndrome, Gerd and pain in the stomach area. I never suffered from any one of those symptoms. I was prescribed amoxicillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole. I was told to take the pills twice daily for two weeks. After pills are done, I am to wait another two weeks to retake the test. The PA told me 1 in 20 patients continue to still have H- Pylori. Well today I finished taking the antibiotics. So now to wait for two weeks to retake the test to see if it's gone or still there. I am so upset because I am so ready to have my surgery and than this happens. I pray that it has gone away with the treatment. I was wondering if anyone has gone through what I am going through and how did it work out? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
