H pylori is a bacterium that often is the cause of gastric ulcers. So having a negative report is a GOOD thing. I suspect(although I'm not certain) you will be less likely to produce post-surgery ulceration especially if you have a bypass. FYI I do have a small gastric ulcer which I named Hector, he's my baby so I named him. Hector was not caused by h pylori, he came from excessive NSAID usage. I have had arthritis since age,25, which hurts always. When it would escalate in pain I popped ibuprofen like candy into my little mouth. After years of abusing my stomach lining Hector made his grouchy little appearance. He and the accompanying gastritis make for a cranky tummy for me[emoji34]

Just call him Dr Doofus, somebody must have helped him through medical school because it is obvious he never learned to read. shake him up in a brown paper bag with me, I have been reading since I was 2 1/2.I taught myself, got tired of waiting for Mamma to read me a story. And that is the truth. I have had a library card since I was 4, only prerequirement was reading ability, by then I was reading grade school level books with zero pictures. I got kicked out of the children's summer reading program at 8, that year everybody had to read 10 books, I read 1423. The motif was airplanes that year, mine circled the library multiple times and was heading down the basement steps where the "stacks" were. I was such an over -achiever it made the other kids feel bad. So I didn't get to compete from then on! Genius-hood is not easy, no one wants to play with you, this explains why we mostly became nerds, to entertain ourselves in studies.[emoji51]

According to the internet:

Nausea and vomiting are the most common complaints after bariatric surgery, and they are typically associated with inappropriate diet and noncompliance with a gastroplasty diet (ie, eat undisturbed, chew meticulously, never drink with meals, and wait 2 hours before drinking after solid food is consumed). If these symptoms are associated with epigastric pain, significant dehydration, or not explained by dietary indiscretions, an alternative diagnosis must be explored. One of the most common complications causing nausea and vomiting in gastric bypass patients is anastomotic ulcers, with and without stomal stenosis. Ulceration or stenosis at the gastrojejunostomy of the gastric bypass has a reported incidence of 3% to 20%. Although no unifying explanation for the etiology of anastomotic ulcers exists, most experts agree that the pathogenesis is likely multifactorial. These ulcers are thought to be due to a combination of preserved acid secretion in the pouch, tension from the Roux limb, ischemia from the operation, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, and perhaps Helicobacter pylori infection. Evidence suggests that little acid is secreted in the gastric bypass pouch; however, staple line dehiscence may lead to excessive acid bathing of the anastomosis. Treatment for both marginal ulcers and stomal ulcers should include avoidance of NSAIDs, antisecretory therapy with proton-pump inhibitors, and/or sucralfate. In addition, H pylori infection should be identified and treated, if present.

In your particular case it is important to know how you were tested. If this is the result of blood test, the negative result may not mean much.

Tests and procedures used to determine whether you have an H. pylori infection include: Blood test. Analysis of a blood sample may reveal evidence of an active or previous H. pylori infection in your body. However, breath and stool tests are better at detecting active H. pylori infections than is a blood test.

This was a biopsy from the EDG, and thank you for your input, i probably overreacted.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
