Hi everyone,

So I recently found out that I have an H. Pylori infection. Doc prescribed me three medications. My surgery is scheduled for Feb 11th. I asked the surgeon's office if they would retest me for h. pylori to see if the medicines worked. They said they usually dont and that once u complete the 14 days of medicine the infection will be gone. Does anyone else have input about this? Those of you who were infectes with H. Pylori did ur surgeon's office retest u after ur course of medicine? Should I push for a retest or am I being paranoid? So far I have not missed a dose of my medicine (I have 7 more days to go). I am sooooo confused because I do not want any unncessary complications post surgery:/

If you test positive, they will give you different medications to take to get rid of it.
