When you guys were doing the antibiotics to treat your h-pylori, did any of you have stomach cramps? I hate to go into too much detail but itll cramp up and then not too long afterwards I'll have to use the bathroom. Anyone have any crazy side effects?

Yes, and also had bad matalic taste in mouth like sucking on a penny all the time. Not pleasant but must complete full regiment to make sure it works.

I just went through the antibiotic treatment and it is tough but I found if I took the pills exactly at the same time everyday and followed by a probiotic a couple hours later it was manageable. Unfortunately it doesn't help the taste though. Good luck

Thanks! I take two antibiotics and then a prilosec all at the same time every twelve hours. I hope I am taking them right

I had that bad penny taste too, but took a specific probiotic to prevent any other 'problems'.

Mine was successfully eradicated with no cramping & potty. I've never heard of needing to suffer through antibiotics.

I mean the pains not excruciating but ita almost like period cramps. Maybe just everything making its way thru the bowels and whatnot?

Wow! I was supposed to be on this antibiotic as well, but I my doctor called me and told me not to start it because my surgery is scheduled for August 1st which is next Monday. Looks like I dodged a bullet. When is your surgery????

They have yet to even give me a date! They want me to finish everything before they give me a date. I have five more days of these antibiotics.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
