Surgery delayed :(

[Dualstarr 104]

Surgery just got delayed by 6+ weeks and It's no ones fault but my own.

I was so excited, I just completed my last options calss through kaiser and was suppose to meet with the surgeon on Tuesday and schedule a surgery date. Well part of our options program with Kaiser required us to do blood work at weeks 3 and week 10. Part of the blood was was an h pylori test. Well stupid me did the blood work but forget to do the h pylori test (it's a stool test). Well when I went for my week 10 labs they reminded me. All my labs cleared but my h pylori test came back positive so now I have to do antibiotics for 10 days then wait 6 WEEKS before I can retake the h pylori screen.

I am totally kicking myself because had I done the stupid test in week 3 like I was suppose to I could be done with the antibiotics and be getting scheduled for surgery next month like the rest of my class...

This SUCKS!

Awwwww i had a Pylori issue also, i did the test and it was positive , so i had to do two weeks antibiotic i was denied the first time around. retook the test but the result was never submitted, i called the lab and had the result resubmitted, and had a surgery date in three weeks . It will all work out and some things happen for a reason...Good luck!!!
