H-Pylori test

[Silke 8]

I took the breath test for H-Pylori and it came back positive. Is there anybody that had that experience? It is a bacteria in the lining of the stomach that can cause ulcers. I am beyond frustrated since I will have to take that test again in about 6 weeks after taking medicine to get rid of the bacteria, which pushes everything back by over a month.

Please share your experience, Thank you

been there done that but better now than post op. lots of us here test positive for this and have to take the meds before moving on to the surgery. With your new very small sleeve you do not want any issues making things more complicated.

I had to take post op horse pills for 10....three pills four times a day....but considering I've had my stomach sliced and removed....if that's the worst thing that happened, then I was fine with it...
