H pylori positive?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever done labs and the h pylori be positive? If so can the gastric sleeve still be performed?

I was h pylori positive many years ago. I was treated with antibiotics and had no issue getting my surgery 3 months ago.

I took the two VILE antibiotics or 10 days and then started the preop diet, then surgery. The pills are bitter, take with a sip of milk, and I was sensitive to one of then - made my ears ring horribly and had dark urine - just be aware.

Hi, like many people here, I did test positive. I did the round of antibiotics and the surgeon I was working with also had me scooped. The check required me to check in for a procedure, I was put under twilight sedation and a scope was inserted to check for ulcers. It all came back clear and I, on my own, started eating yogurt with Probiotics afterwards. Above all, don't worry!

All this is good to know! I am on my third day of the antibiotics. I didn’t even have symptoms of h pylori, so I guess it is good to find and get cleared up.

I also had it and didn’t know. Took the awful antibiotics and had my surgery a month later.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
