August 5 now I'm starting to get scared. Actually freaking out a bit. Last week was the my last NUT until after and she said I was HPYLORI positive. They scared the hell out of me because she said I might have to wait 6 weeks to have the surgery. She called my Dr. and he said it was fine to just put me on antibiotics until the surgery. I know he said it was OK but now my anxciety is kicking in and I'm questioning it. Should I wait or is this my excuse because I'm starting to freak out.

Also this is a post-op question. I've been reading about the constipation after surgery. Sorry if this is TMI but I've suffered from this my whole life. I was wondering can we take Probiotics after surgery and does it help?

Promise the pre-op pics will come soon just trying to get the nerve up.

Love this site can't get enough,

Lori

What is Hplyori positive? My surgeon never checked for that? What is it?

It's a type of Ulcer. It was in my blood work. You may have just been negative.

Ita a bacteria in ur stomach

correct - it's a bacteria in your intestines - usually you have to go on 2 weeks of antibiotics and wait 30 days and be retested again prior to having surgery -apparently it's pretty bad if you get cut open and this bacteria is present.

Should I wait?
