    I haven't gotten my surgery date yet but I'm a nurse and usually they give you IV antibiotics right before you go to the operation room to prevent infection.

    Nope, didn't have any antibiotics pre-op that I recall.

    But I did have to shower twice before surgery with some special yucky surgical soap.

    I was told I would only have them if they found h. pylori during my EGD.

    I think he might have meant preop

    As in right as they are rolling you into the operating room they will infuse antibiotics.

    It's done right before surgery because it helps reduce the risk of infection from the procedure.
