Helicobacter pylori, this is bacteria that is believed to cause all bunch of stomach problems, including ulcers, but people can have it and never experience any symptoms. I brought home tests from Europe, so I don't have to ask the doctor for it, but I'm not sure if they are available to purchase in the US.

I had multiple rounds of ulcers and then took the course of antibiotics for H. Pylori and have not had any more ulcers in the 20+ years since.

Thank you all for your responses....I'm miserable. I can't hardly eat without the pain in my center upper abdomen. It radiates to my back and the meds I got Thursday aren't helping. I have an abdominal US and an egd for next week! Hope to get some relief!!!

Also gallbladder sometimes radiates to your back...though typically the pain is more off center to the right. Good luck!!!!

I had h. Pylori many years ago and had a course of medication that supposedly cured it. I have not had my surgery yet, scheduled for 11/19, so I am thinking I may be tested for it. Will be interesting to see if it still presents. It was probably about 16 years ago.

I went to the dr and have to have the light run down my throat one day this week. So far the doc says I have gastritis and its Soooooooooo painful....the gnawing sharp pain from my upper abdomen to my back, the acid in my chest and throat, the feeling of being bloated and feeling full before you can even take a bite, and if you do take a bite you're hurting so bad....yep that's been my last 2 weeks! Really 4 but the worst of it has been the past 2 weeks. And last night and today...oh my!!! i couldn't stand it anymore, so i headed to the doc! The dr thinks I have an ulcer too. So we'll see. He's already treating me with different medications that help with the gastritis and ulcers if there's one there. I hope none of you have this type pain or problem! I'm 2 years post op, 110 lbs down and have felt great! So I'm ready for this mess to go, get better, and never return!!!! I'm praying its healed and corrected soon!! Thanks for all your responses and input! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
