Had egd done yesterday waiting to find out if i have H pylori. My Dr said if it is they will treat with antibiotics. He said it should not really affect the surgery. They found an ulcer and i am starting protonix.

Had it during the waiting period but they just gave me antibiotics and continued to set surgery date.

I had it too, and YES, it can affect surgery! Most insurance companies are requiring a negative follow up result. As you know h pylori is bacteria. You don't want surgery on your stomach while you have high levels of BAD bacteria in there. I'll warn you, the treatment can make you feel nauseated the first few days. It's well worth it though. My stomach started flattening out. In hindsight I always had an upset stomach but I figured it was because I was fat and could eat better. Good luck!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
