Really confused and frustrated..
I'm 8 weeks post op (I was thinking up until now I was 6, but I'm actually on week 8) and have lost minimal weight.

Last week I gained to 374, this week I'm up to…

h. pylori
I got a call today, my EGD came back and I have h. pylori..Kinda sucks, but I was sorta expecting something to happen to make this take longer. Did anyone else have this before their surgery? Did 1 set of antibiotics clear it up completely? I read that some times it can take 2, or 3 different times on antibiotics to clear…
