I'm feeling so discouraged after meeting with my doc today. She said that since I tested positive for H.pylori and have a history of acid reflux, the surgeon will probably not ok me for the sleeve and will have to do the bypass instead. I don't wanna do the bypass.

Had anyone else been told this as well?

Thanks

Right when I was getting to be sleeved, my primary doctor told me I had H.pylori. I told my surgeon, Dr. Yatco (NYC) and he said he already saw from my tests that I had it but it would not be a big deal. He said many people actually have H.pylori it's a bacteria but it shouldn't interfere with the surgery at all.

I also took pills to treat the H.pylori before surgery. While I didn't finish all the pills prescribed, I still got the surgery. It was never an issue for my doctors.

Hope everything goes well for you!

I'm having my surgery with Doctor yatco, I was worried about everything like getting h.pylori. It's nice to know I won't have to wait even longer lol
