I’m in the purée stage. I overdid it and now am feeling that sort of stinging pain in my chest 😰 -
February 2021 Sleeve Surgery
M4rlene replied to LifelongJourney's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my gastric sleeve done on Thursday. I’m not so much in pain as I am in discomfort. It’s difficult to drink the minimum amount of liquid. My fiancé bought fast food for himself yesterday and the smell of it almost made me gag. -
My surgery was initially scheduled for December 2020, but was postponed due to Covid. Today out of the blue I got a call that I could have my surgery on Feb. 18, 2021. This feels like a roller coaster. I’m nervous. A lot more nervous than I was in December when I originally thought it would be happening.

Positive for H. Pylori 😓 - share your experience
M4rlene replied to AlwaysCruising's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This topic was posted several months ago, but this is relevant to what I'm going through right now. H. Pylori was found in my stool test. I'm currently on day 7 of my 14-day regimen. Metronidazole 500 mg twice a day Amoxicillin 500 mg twice a day Clarithromycin 500 mg twice a day Omeprazole 20.6 mgdr twice a day Optional, but recommended by my pharmacist - a probiotic mid-day for the 14 days plus an additional 14 days after I finish all the medication listed above 😕 I don't see any responses in this thread as to whether the H. Pylori held you back from surgery. @AlwaysCruising , @Xx1jpt5xx (and anyone else) did this end up pushing your surgery date back? Thank you
