Hi everyone, I tested positive for h. pylori and started the treatment yesterday. Has anyone else had this experience? The 3 medication cocktail I have to take for 2 weeks is making my saliva taste like perfume. It is so gross and actually kept me awake last night. If you did have to treat h. pylori before surgery what was your experience? Did it postpone or affect your surgery? Did you get this same side effect as I did? It supposedly only happens in 7% of people and I am a lucky one. I would like to hear anyone's story who has also gone through this. I was completely asymptomatic and would never have known I had it if it wasn't a routine pre-op test that my surgeon does.

I tested positive for it as well. I was quite surprised and actually angry about it. I'm on my second day of the "cocktail" as well. All I can test in my mouth is the medicine. I've brushed my teeth twice this morning, and still can't get the taste out of my mouth or throat. It's gonna be a long two weeks. I haven't been scheduled yet, however, they (bariatric team) told me that it shouldn't effect the surgery at all, and I wouldn't have to do another egd to see if it's gone. My surgeon says that it's actually quite common, and not to stress over it. Interesting the different information that we get. Good Luck, I'll be thinking of you.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
