Health Issues

So I just started my weight-loss journey but on my initial consult visit I found out that I had h pylori bacteria. Then, when I got my blood test results I discovered I wad severely anemic and my vitamin D was very low. I never had problems like this before, so was curious if anyone else had discovered anybof these health issues pre-surgery?

Hey there, I have H pylori too, but the Surgeon went ahead and did my surgery and will have me on antibiotics in 2 months. No problems there.

Hope you do well!

I also have h pylori and am taking antibiotics for it now! My surgery is Friday

I had h phlori a couple of years ago so my surgeon had me tested twice prior to surgery just in case. My PCP actually discovered my extremely low vitamin D levels about a month prior to surgery. I started taking a high dose of vitamin D and did so up until surgery.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies! I thought that I was tired because of being busy plus heavy, so I was interested to discover about the low iron & vitamin D. I have heard anemia can make you tired. I will have to get back into the doctor.
