H Pylori

[Lifeafter40 89]

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.

Also, he said that h.pylori has to be treated because its presence could lead to stomach cancer.

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 agree 100% and I thank God for going through all the required test

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?

I also was diagnose with Hpylori I was given treatment and it feared up before my surgury. If it were not for the pretext it would not have been caught .

[Lifeafter40 89]

Thank God we were all tested and treated

Guys, you know it comes back, right

[starbuckscoffeegal 36]

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!
