New Beginning

[nikkoal 21]

Hi my name is Nikkoal. Im from central california. This has been quite a journey for me. I started my wls path about 2.5 years ago. I did everything I was supposed to do. At the very end with last minute labs I found out I was pregnant. Had a daughter who will be 1 very soon. Cant see mt life without her. Glad she came before I had surgery. Long story short. Had to start all over. Dietician, physch, labs, etc. I am now so close. I have a tentative surgery date for july 29th. I just got the YES!! From insurance. Received my labwork. Everything was good except I have a stomache bacteria called h. Pylori. Anyone ever have this problem please let me know. I got to take a strong course of antibiotics and go from there. Look forward to being on the losers bench.

H.pylori is a common stomach bacteria and the antibiotics should clear it up without any problems or delays in your surgery....welcome!!

Hi Nikkoal, I'm from Fresno and just tested positive for h. Pylori after my endoscopy last Thursday. I have to start antibiotics too. Good luck on your new start. My surgeon is Dr. Higa

I had this as well. I was given antibiotics 3 weeks before my surgery date that I had to take for the duration of 2 weeks. It appears to be common so don't worry. It didn't affect my surgery date. Good luck on your journey.

I was positive for the bacteria also, I had to take a serious of meds several times a day (Prevac) and two weeks later it was gone, I took a breath test to conf no more bacteria and now I'm waiting to my surgery tomorrow! All will be fine hun

[sprgls 11]

I was tested positive within 24 hours after surgery. I was sleeved onon

[sprgls 11]

I was sleeved on 6/4/13. I started my antibiotics on 6/7/13. It was hard to swallow the pills at first. 50% of people test positive for h-pylori.
