connie3 43 Posted September 13, 2012 Did anybody have to get tested for this before surgery? I had to and it came back positive. I took the antibiotics and the retest, came back POSITIVE AGAIN!!!!! All this is just pushing my surgery date farther and farther away. I'm so pissed and depressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted September 13, 2012 I think the H pylori is a standard test done on all endoscopy tests. Mine came back negative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen in SoCal 189 Posted September 13, 2012 Is that the bacteria that caused ulcers? I never had a preop endoscopy not was I tested for this but I was just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
