I'm waiting to get my surgery. I tested positive for H. pylori they put me on ant-acid and antiboitics I went through the first round of meds. I did a second stool test and they still said I have it. Why do they hold off from doing the surgery if you have H pylori? I'm so mad. I really want my surgery done. SO now Im scared that even though I have no symptoms I might test positive again. And they have to put off the surgery. Does anyone know what happens if you test positive for H pylori the second time around.
