H pylori positive?

[H2neal 40]

Has anyone ever done labs and the h pylori be positive? If so can the gastric sleeve still be performed?

I was h pylori positive many years ago. I was treated with antibiotics and had no issue getting my surgery 3 months ago.

You can still have the surgery after you have been treated

I took the two VILE antibiotics or 10 days and then started the preop diet, then surgery. The pills are bitter, take with a sip of milk, and I was sensitive to one of then - made my ears ring horribly and had dark urine - just be aware.

Hi, like many people here, I did test positive. I did the round of antibiotics and the surgeon I was working with also had me scooped. The check required me to check in for a procedure, I was put under twilight sedation and a scope was inserted to check for ulcers. It all came back clear and I, on my own, started eating yogurt with Probiotics afterwards. Above all, don't worry!

All this is good to know! I am on my third day of the antibiotics. I didn’t even have symptoms of h pylori, so I guess it is good to find and get cleared up.

I also had it and didn’t know. Took the awful antibiotics and had my surgery a month later.
