Did anyone have H-Pylori treatment before surgery and what are the chances of it turning to stomach cancer due to WS surgery, my doctor called and informed me that I had H-Pylori and had to get it treated. I thank God that I am trying to have WS surgery because if I wasn't I would have never known I have H-Pylori

I didn't know I had the h. Pylori until a couple of weeks after the surgery at my first post-op visit. My doctor said it showed up in the biopsy. I was on a antibiotic/PPI = 8 pills a day for two weeks. Thank God that misery is over. This Tuesday I go for a blow test to make sure it has been eradicated. But for the surgery, I would never have known about it.

I just completed my 10 day regimen of antibiotics for h-pylori. I lost 10lbs from all the diarrhea the meds gave me ???? but glad to get it taken care of before surgery. I start my 3 weeks of mandatory classes tomorrow and then I will get a surgery date-hopefully the last week of Feb.

Hello everyone Im new here. I had my PAT visitband upper GI done today and was positive for the H-Pylori. My surgery date is for the 16th but I meet with the surgeon on the 10th to go over test results from today. I believe I will be prescribed treatment tomorrow for this. Its amazing how the process of this procedure reveals health information we would not have known about. My sleep study revealed I now have sleep apnea. And now the upper GI has revealed H Pylori. Good lokk guys on your journey.

I tested positive. I'm on the 8 pill a pack during my 2 week pre-op diet. Apparently it's very common 2/3 of people have it. I'm wondering if my son should get tested?

If it comes back, do we get retested and retreated? That's definitely something I'm asking my dr on Tuesday.

I was told that as part of the pre-surgery labs that I have to get done I will need to get the h pylori test done as well. I was told if it comes up positive, I'll need to take antibiotics to get rid of it prior to surgery. They made it seem that it's not a big deal, so I'm trying not to worry.

My endoscopy also revealed I had Hpylori! I just finished my 14 days antibiotic and will submit stool test next week. Through my sleep

Study found out I had a mild case of sleep apnea which I'm using cpap for. When I did my blood work with PCP found out I was starting point diabetic (6.4) and high blood pressure, If it weren't for the surgery regs, I wouldn't know any of these issues existed. I just thought I had weight issues and a high BMI. I

Guess it's a blessing in disguise...

It will all be much better soon!

      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.
