A Little Disappointed

Deb, I may have missed it somewhere in the forum but did you get your date yet? I've been thinking about you

Dhale. I have heard of another person that they found Hpylora in and thus delayed her surgery. I had that years ago and I was not very good at taking meds and i didnt finish the whole treatment So i was very worried that they would do preop and find that and stop my surgery So i am doing the treatment plan again NOW. Got one of the providers i work with to write me the scribts needed. So that hopefully when i get a date wont be any other things delaying me.

Good idea to treat in advance. I don't think they can find it during surgery...they have to swab it and put it under a microscope...but if they see that your tummy is inflamed that may prevent it. Have you had an EGD yet? Or will they require one? If so - that is where they will find it. Also if they say they want to test you for it mention that you have had it before. Your blood tests will always show positive if you have had it. They will have to do a stool test for a true result. Luckily I don't have to retest...my doctor says as long as I do the treatment he will do the surgery.

No date yet. Talked to the dietican and she is calling me tue for the last time. I hope with in days i get aproved and can call the surgeon to set a date i am still hoping for april 25th. WIll be sure to let you all know.

Dhale no they dont require the egd that i have been told bout. But i will be sure to let the dr know i had hpylo before and show him that i have recently treated it. That should take care of any questions. I just felt i wanted to be ahead of the ball game on it.

I hope you get your date soon!

 

I didn't have to do the EGD.
