Has anyone else tested positive for H Pylori in the pre op stage ? I am hoping these antibiotics kick it to the curb .. I have this paranoia that it won't and I will never have my surgery

Hey, I was diagnosed with H Pylori as well but they decided to wait until after my surgery to give me antibiotics. I was just sleeved on Tuesday and guess I will be getting my meds eventually. I dont think you need to worry.

I was positive also & was treated with 2 wks of antibiotics prior to my surgery. The dr wasn't worried at all about it. I have to go & do a breath test to make sure it's gone (they said to do it a month after the antibiotics)

I am taking two weeks of antibiotics then wait two weeks and retest , I don't think they will do the surgery on me untill it's gone .

I tested positive as well. They gave me the meds for two weeks prior to my surgery

I tested positive too. My doctor is having me wait until after surgery to take the meds. I have surgery on Sept.17. I was a little worried but doc said it was okay.

I tested positive and took 2 wks of the antibiotics. They were hard on my stomach. But he didn't have me retest. I had surgery on 8/29..

So strange you all seem to have the same experience ... Wonder why I am retesting and why if positive again my surgery will be delayed further

How did your surgery go ? I'm nervous

It went well. I was told if I followed the pre- op diet to a T I wld have less complications. I had no nausea or vomiting. Very little pain, I took pain meds the day I came home and only 1/2 a tsp and that was the only time, other then two days this week. I over did it on the exercising. Think positive...

Ask your surgeon, maybe something happened in the past, that makes him more cautious .

I was positive too. I was given 14 days of antibiotics and They did the surgery. I have my first follow up next week I hope all is well. I'll find out and post.

How are you feeling? I have H.Pylori too. My doc wants me to wait until after surgery. I have surgery tomorrow.

Thanks for everyone's input and for sharing your experiences

I am doing well. The second day was the worst with gas, nausea and vomiting but day 3 was soooo much better. Good luck on your surgery! Just keep telling yourself in the hard spots that it will get better! I am not even a week sleeved and I feel really really good. Not sure when they will start my med for H plyori but I am not worried about it for now. Just have to focus on healing my tummy. Let me know how you do. I will be thinking of you tomorrow!

I have h- pylori also. I've been through two rounds of antibiotics and still can't get rid of it. The doctor says he will still do the surgery. I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well!
