2 weeks ago I had an endoscopy done because my doctor required it. Everything went well but the dr told me he found some tissue in my stomach and took a biopsy. I got a call on Monday saying I have H-Pylori and I have to take antibiotics for 14 days and won't go back until 30 days after to get tested again. Which will be until the end of May.

I am happy they found it and it is getting taken care of. I am just a little scared that this will delay me for my surgery. I'm really not sure what to think. I am very nervous.

If anyone went through this feel free to let me know how your experience went. Thank you.

Look at it as a chance to catch a problem before surgery. Sometimes it's just changing our perspective on things. Hang in there, and I'm glad they're taking care of this for you, so you don't have to think about it after.

Very true.. thank you so much!

I am literally in the same situation. I'm on my prev pack... Then some other meds... Then I go back in about a month

Hi... it's frustrating.. i'm not due until september but illogically already have all my hopes pinned on a date that's just 'pencilled in' for now. But listen, they do these tests for a reason so hang in there. I'm scheduled for an endoscopy next month. What was it like? Would you mind sharing your experience a little?

I had to blow in a bag after drinking liquid for my hpylori test. I didn't have an endoscopy. Is that typical or did you all have some other issue that caused the Dr to order the endoscopy?

The endoscopy is required as per my insurer. As far as the procedure....You're put to sleep because essentially they are putting a camera down your throat into your esophagus. I found out that I had ulcers on my esophagus because of my endoscopy which is why im converting to a bypass from the lapband.
