Did you have the blood test done first? That's my worse fear that they will find an ulcer that I never knew I had. I have no symptoms but tested positive. I dont want anything to prolong my surgery. Good for you it didn't.

I have not had any blood work done as of yet.

No, you don't feel anything. The anesthesia they use for it sort of puts you under but it also causes some kind of amnesia affect. I am not the best one to try and explain it.

You should not feel anything and you will not remember the procedure.

you take a great nap and don't remember a thing when you wake up...except, why the hell did they wake me up from one of the best naps ever! I've had three, you don't feel a thing!

There are multiple ways to test. A biopsy is the most accurate for a current infection as it looks for the actual organism. The blood is an antigen test. Testing for the response your body is currently or has in the past responded to the organism. There is also a breath test. Stool would look for the shedding of the bacteria but could have variables. The gold standard is the biopsy though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
