Ok saw my actual surgeon for first time and I am scheduled for EGD tomorrow. So we will see. I'm tolerating fluids a lot better today. So antibiotics and other meds must be working as they are treating that h pylori

I signed in to specifically check on you. I read your post last night but didn't have time to respond. I am so, so sorry to hear you are going through this. I, too,was diagnosed with H. pylori prior to surgery and treated for three weeks with antibiotics, I had no symptoms.

Hopefully, from this day forward things only get better. You will be in my prayers.

My surgeon required endoscopy with H Pylori test before I could get approved for surgery. Sorry you are having to go through this now.

I'm praying for your healing. I am so glad now that my insurance didn't pay for my surgery and thus I went to Texas to Dr. Nicholson. Tampa General Bariatric Center is a joke. After reading this thread, I remembered that when I met with the surgeon that the walls were so thin that my husband and I could hear every single word of the patient in the next room, which of course is a privacy issue, when I mentioned it to the nurse she said that they were having the walls "redone" because the contractor cut corners to save money. Well it was newly finished! They took my deposit, didn't check my insurance, stiffed me... the staff was horrible, particularly the administration staff. Sorry to be "off topic" slightly, but I feel like the Lord saved me from going to this place. Sounds like they don't have their act together. I hope you and your wife are okay....

Ok update. My wife's surgery went well and is resting. I'm not doing the best either. EGD showed a hernia in my esophagus. Anyone know what they do for that? I got a fever today and am very weak. After 40 oz of fluids yesterday only 3 today. I'm on oxygen for shortness of breath.even sitting up or going to restroom makes me almost collapse from exertion. Yesterday I took long walks. Even this morning. This is all post EGD

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
