I got my surgery date! but.....



Recommended Posts

I just got a call that my surgery date is scheduled for the 28th of july . The bad news is that my endoscopy showed that I have a high level of H pylori bacteria so I have to be on antibiotics for a week first. I was reading around and it seems that a lot of the time h pylori is very difficult to get rid of because its become antibiotic resistant. Often it takes months to years to kill off. I have never taken antibiotics in my life so i hope i will not be antibiotic resistant. Has anyone else ever had this experience before? Did the antibiotics kill off the bacteria? I am sick of all the delays in my surgery process -__-

I called it helicopter bacteria because that's about what the technical term sounds like.

You will be fine, you will be given some super strong antibodies, maybe even triple antibody therepy, I think that is what it is called for a week. Just remember to not take any of it on an empty stomach and especially do not drink any alcohol while taking them.

4 years ago I did the triple antibodic thing and I tested negative last Monday.

H. Pylori can be resistant to treatment in people who have moderate to extreme usage of antibiotics over time, for one infection or another. You clearly don't fall into that category, so you shouldn't have any trouble. Good luck to you!

I was diagnosed with H Pylori as well and it was the hardest thing I had to go through during this journey by the way im pre-op. However, the first set of antibiotics did not work for me made me sick, nauseous, constantly throwing up, so I was put on pylera for two weeks 14 pilla a day only to get tested and I still have it. I tried another treatment of pylera and im hoping that when I test again im a few weeks that im negative because I cant go back to taking 18 pills a day including my metformin which is hard on the stomache as well...I wish you the best with your treatment I hope it goes smooth for you... Good Luck

        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
