NikkiOwl 24 Posted May 21, 2020 Does anyone know if antibiotics damage our sleeve? I tried to ask my surgeon’s office today and the nurse said, “That’s a question for your primary care doctor”. Umm, what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hop_Scotch 1,632 Posted May 21, 2020 I will be undergoing a treatment shortly for h. pylori it includes two antibiotics, the treatment was prescribed by my weight loss surgeon. So I am guessing not but I am no medical expert. I am concerned about the good bacteria that will likely die off as a result of the treatment so will be ensuring plenty of Probiotics.

NovaLuna 710 Posted May 21, 2020 My surgery involves a sleeved stomach and I'm on Azithromycin for an abscess tooth and I've been on it for 9 days now, and I've been fine. Also, my primary had gastric sleeve surgery and she was the one who prescribed the antibiotics so... pretty sure it's fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
