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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
