They found H-Pylori during endoscopy

Hi

I was banded on January 23. Right before my surgery, my doctor advised me that I have H-Pylori. He said that it is some type of bacteria that lives in the stomach. He also said that if I were a RNY patient, my surgery would have been delayed. Within the next few weeks, I will have to be on a regimen of 3 different types of antibiotics for 2 weeks. Did anyone else have this?:tt1:

    Hi! H-pylori is the bacteria that causes gastric ulcers. (stress and foods were once the thought that caused them) I believe, I could be wrong, that you never get rid of it completely. But, I would imagine that the total count would have to be reduced before surgery would be done for gastric bypass, since they completely cut your stomach. Don't worry, lots and lots of us have this bacteria!

    Glad they are able to go through with your surgery as scheduled!:tt1:
