On Nov 13th my surgeons office scheduled my sleeve for Nov 24th, Ive been on cloud 9 this week since Ive done the whole " jumping through hoops " requirements for my insurance for the past 7 months.

Ive lost 33 lbs since my 1st visit with my dietician,and I've attended every class, Ive stayed on top of all of the requirements. I had already attended the diet class and bought my pre op kit.

I started my liquid 7 day pre op diet on Monday, and doing great, the surgery date has finally made all of this seem real.

This morning docs office calls to tell me my new labs came back testing positive for H Pylori.

So i had to start a 14 day antibiotic treatment today.

Of course Nov 24 Th is not going to be my day.

I had everything arranged with my job, I was so upset all day.

Im trying to stay positive, and i know this stuff happens,

That almost happend to me I had a high white blood count which ment I had an infection my body was fighting. I did not know till the day before if I was ok to have the surgery or not. My mom came from Utah I live in Cali to help me and I had my ex have my daughter and work vacation scheduled. Im sorry that happend but it all worked out for the best you found out you needed antibiotics and are getting that taken care of. Good Luck and its all worth it.. It toook me 7 months to get here and after the surgery you will look back and realize its all a blur and will be looking forward to being healthy.

Thank you for the kind words and support. It means a lot.

And wtg!! Wow, thats awesome your mother did that for you. Im glad everything went well. And congratulations !

Im just hoping after the antibiotics all is well so i can do this at the beginning of Dec!!

@@HollyFriend Aww that stinks! I know how frustrated you must be. It's like being told your baby will be born on a certain day and then it doesn't happen! Just try to be thankful that your surgeon is being diligent and finding/fix all preexisting issue before they become a real issue. You want to be in the best health you can be in before going through surgery. Don't worry your "baby" (stomach ) will be born soon!!! Godspeed!

Hi Holly

Sorry to here that I had a similar issue with the H Pylori, however my blood work show it but when I had my EGD no trace of it kind of weird I will have more test done next week before my Dec surgery date

Thank y'all for all the kind words. Im trying to stay positive. Im thankful for this forum full of such wonderful people. I dont have a new surgery date yet, but they are saying around Dec 10th. So fingers crossed
