You mean a pulmonary function test?

The tests are see how well your lungs are doing.

I would call the doctor and ask. search on webmd or mayoclinic.com

Hey are you talking about the H-Pylori? If so mine came back positive. I had to nexium and two different antiboitics. Very strong stuff for 14 days and then I had wait 14 more days and have it retest. I felt like I was swimming with pills. This can cause ulcers because it is bacteria in your stomach, etc.

I'm not familiar with this.....what does it test for?

This tests for a bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) fround in the stomach. I have to take 14 days of pills twice a day and then be retested.

      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.
