H-Pylori

I just came from the emergency room with bad stomach pains and was told I have H-Pylori bacteria. My sleeve is scheduled for August 25th how will this effect it? I'm in tears because I came too far for this to happen.

Yep, I got the call this weekend. It is a very common bacteria that 90% of people have. It mostly lies dormant, but since surgery can make it flare up, the surgeons tend to be proactive and treat in in advance. I started my meds yesterday - 2 antibiotics and Prilosec for 10 days. I am not scheduled to be rechecked as it is preventative. My surgery is 8/31.

I have to finish my 14 day antibiotic and then wait again 14 days to take a breath test and make sure the levels have gone down. But as i heard most surgeons are different.
