I have been treated for hpylori twice now and it keeps comming back positive and my surgeon decided to go on with my surgery and im kinda nurvous i have talked to a few people who have had the surgery with hpylori and was fine but i am wondering if there is anything i can do to lower my chances of something going wrong having hpylori.

my results came back positive,but my doctor said its not necessary to retest or retreat

well at first my doctor told me they wouldnt do my surgery until i tested negative for it and it has set me back 2 months trying to get rid of it and just got retested and tested positive again and my doctor said that she will go ahead with my surgery even though i have tested positive again so that makes me feel better because someone told me once you test positive you will always test positive weather you have it or not.

The nurse told me the same info,about always testing positive. Im glad that I did have the test bc I would have not known about the risk for developing ulcers etc. This gives me the opportunity to make some changes in diet. I gotta stay away from acidic foods,ugh! i love italian foods. O well,better healthy:)

yes you are right about the staying away from foods i am glad to know that your nurse told you that it will always test postitive that makes me feel better! but i love italian foods also!
