cleobrown 3 Posted December 13, 2015 Well, I found out that I have a h pylori infection and my glucose was very high. I have never had any glucose issues despite having a strong family history if diabetes. The PAs were debating whether to put me on metformin but chose to recheck my a1c in 3 mos. The PA thought my chest pain could be related to my hiatal hernia repair healing, so I was prescribed levsin. I took about 3 yesterday and I took my first pain free sip of Water this morning! I'm so happy it's helping! Get this, I was prescribed prevpac for the h pylori which consists of 4 huge pills that are taken in the am/pm for 14 days! Umm no! There is no way those are going down yet! I am feeling better and better each day, my incisions barely hurt anymore. I am going to try to get some yogurt down today, baby steps! Thanks for asking! I am technically 7 days post op and have my f/u appt. on Fri. 12/11. My week 2 diet consists of full liquids, soft dairy and strained Soups. I have noticed that many sleevers had different pre op and diet progression rules. I want to start soft foods but it's hard to get liquids down because the gas in my chest is HORRENDOUS! I have heard that it can take up to 3 weeks for it to dissipate!Other than the gas, I am feeling ok. I get a little weak if I overdo it trying to walk out the gas... I'm not taking in the liquids that I should but I don't feel hungry at all. Hopefully the soft foods will go down better! Awesome Cleo brown! I see many people has complications after. I'm glad u haven't experienced much besides the gas. How'd it go on ur follow up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad u haven't experienced much besides the gas. How'd it go on ur follow up? Oh no! They did an H pylori test before I had surgery. Luckily I tested negative. Sorry to hear about ur glucose levels! That's so odd that it would spike up post op. Hopefully ur a1c will be good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
