EGD biopsy says I have it. One thing I forgot to ask my doctor is how can they guarantee it’s gone after the 2 weeks of antibiotics? Anyone else have to go through the treatment for this?

I think it depends on your surgeon. How long have you been on antibiotics?

I had my gastric sleeve March 4th.The pathology report said i have h pylori. I see surgeon for another post op in 9 days. My primary care told me the report said h pylori. i called the office of the clinic where i see my sergeon.They told me they will talk to me about it on the 1st of April. I wonder why they are waiting to treat it.

Wonder why they waited to test for H. Pylori after surgery? It can contribute to ulcers.

It is part of the clearance process done by my hospital. My nurse told me that not all surgeons or hospital does it.

I had it. After the 2 weeks on the prescribed medication i had to wait another 2-3 weeks and then submit stool.The test came back negative.

Did you have symptoms that sent you to be checked ?

Yes... I’m currently taking the meds

I tested negative, so I am getting an EDG done
