H pylori

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.

They found a nice sized ulcer in me too on my endo. Probably due to all of the NSAIDs I have had to take...

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.
