Right! It's better to treat it now. You sure don't want to give your new angry little tummy anything ELSE to gripe about after surgery!!!smile.gif

H. pylori is the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers. It is a really good thing they are taking care of this issue now.

I came back positive for H Pylori as well. Just a heads up - the meds are rough!! You take 4 pills, 4 times per day. Ugh

Yep! I had the Hpylori too! And I agree about the antibiotics, they are rough!! Made me feel sick for about 4 days. THEY ARE STRONG!! Have to take lots of them for 14 days and double up on my PPI too!!

Better to clear it up before surgery tho! They will still operate tho if you get it cleared up! Don't worry, you will be fine!

Just got back from my pcm..........she did a finger stick and it showed 479...so off she went and got me some insulin and a bunch to take home........I used to be diabetic years ago when i got it from medicine...was on prednasone for a few months and it raised my sugar through the roof but then once off of prednasone it went away....well now its back geez.

due to the military being on 4 day weekend already lol my pcm could not get a copy of my lab results showing the hpylori so she cant give me meds for it yet until tuesday when everyone is back at work so in the meantime, she ordered the same blood test at her clinic ( for tomorrow) and come tuesday we can compare both sets of results......and go from there......i just hope all goes well enough so i can still have my surgery.

I had that too before my surgery. The meds are expensive even with insurance. 4 pills twice a day. But I passed the breath test. I have had my surgery and on my way.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
