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!!

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 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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
