Question, has anyone dealt with H-pylori ?



Recommended Posts

My blood test results came back positive for H-pylori and I was concerned if it will be a setback for approval. I'm getting the medication I need to knock it out tomorrow. thanks for the input

Sometimes treatment of H Pylori can cause weight gain. Its true! It happened to me. I was not symptomatic but I've had GERD forever so I was tested for it and then treated for it. After that I gained a lot of weight. My family thought I was crazy until I showed them a study proving that what I said can happen. it affects the metabolism or something. And they won't give you H Pylori back either... ( I miss mine).

I have had it twice. It's just a bacteria that you can pick up anywhere like from eating fruit that isn't washed. They gave me medication that made my mouth taste terrible. Just make sure they test you for it afterwards to make sure it's gone. I can tell immediately when it comes back because I get a terrible pain on my right side.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
