H.pylori found during Preop testing.



Recommended Posts

I found out today that my endoscopy shows I have H.pylori and they are going to put me on antibiotics for 2 weeks to clear it up. The problem is I have my surgery in exactly 2 weeks. Has anyone else experienced this? Will the surgeon push back my surgery date since I have to take the antibiotics? Also do I have to eat with the antibiotics? I just started my preop liquid diet today.

I would call your clinic. They'll know the answers to that...

It is fairly common. H. Phylori is the main reason they do the endoscopy. They need to treat it before surgery. 2 weeks should be plenty of time to clear it up before surgery, but ask your doc your questions for the most accurate answers. Whether or not you have to eat with antibiotics, depends on the antibiotic. Ask the pharmacist. But even on a liquid diet, you could eat something on your diet with your antibiotic.

So I didnt have anything to worry about. The surgeon said if the antibiotic gave me nausea while on the liquid diet I can stop and resume taking them after the surgery. To be honest I was hoping they would say I could eat a little something with it...lol. She also is sending me for an ultrasound of my liver since my levels are so high. She just wants to confirm it's just fatty liver and not something else. It seems like for every test I have they want to do more test...smh. I know it's better to be safe than sorry. Or the test show something. The cardiologist sent me for an ultrasound and found mild mitral valve regurgitation, the endoscopy found h.phylori now the liver needs an ultrasound. But a part of me is happy to basically am getting a semi-final body check and if anything is wrong at least I know.

I'm on anti biotics for a different reason -- got a bad tooth. Have to go back to the Dentist on Thursday where he will either pull it or start a root canal. If I go with a root canal, I want it done 2 weeks before surgery...

Oh snap a bad tooth is no joke. I've had one pulled and I was feeling fine after about two days. I've never had a root canal. How long is the recovery?

As I remember, it takes about two sessions and then it's done. The last one I had done took a while to settle down and I had to have a tooth removed because the process still couldn't save the tooth. Eating a sugar free popsicle is just torture. I'm just getting it pulled. Ugh.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
