Hi my name is Nikkoal. Im from central california. This has been quite a journey for me. I started my wls path about 2.5 years ago. I did everything I was supposed to do. At the very end with last minute labs I found out I was pregnant. Had a daughter who will be 1 very soon. Cant see mt life without her. Glad she came before I had surgery. Long story short. Had to start all over. Dietician, physch, labs, etc. I am now so close. I have a tentative surgery date for july 29th. I just got the YES!! From insurance. Received my labwork. Everything was good except I have a stomache bacteria called h. Pylori. Anyone ever have this problem please let me know. I got to take a strong course of antibiotics and go from there. Look forward to being on the losers bench.

H.pylori is a common stomach bacteria and the antibiotics should clear it up without any problems or delays in your surgery....welcome!!

Hi Nikkoal, I'm from fresno and I just tested positive for it too after my endoscopy last Thursday. I have to pick up my antibiotics. Thx for the post.

Hi Nikkoal, I'm from Fresno and just tested positive for h. Pylori after my endoscopy last Thursday. I have to start antibiotics too. Good luck on your new start. My surgeon is Dr. Higa

I had this as well. I was given antibiotics 3 weeks before my surgery date that I had to take for the duration of 2 weeks. It appears to be common so don't worry. It didn't affect my surgery date. Good luck on your journey.

I was positive for the bacteria also, I had to take a serious of meds several times a day (Prevac) and two weeks later it was gone, I took a breath test to conf no more bacteria and now I'm waiting to my surgery tomorrow! All will be fine hun

I was tested positive within 24 hours after surgery. I was sleeved onon

I was sleeved on 6/4/13. I started my antibiotics on 6/7/13. It was hard to swallow the pills at first. 50% of people test positive for h-pylori.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I much appreciate it. I just got a call this morning that july 29th is my official surgery date and my preop appt is july 16th.
