Diagnosed H Pylori. About To Undergo Gastric Bypass, Taking Antibiotics. Is It Safe?

I was just diagnosed with having H Pylori. I am suppose to have gastric bypass done. It was put on hold until 6 weeks of antibiotics. The doctor said then I would be good to go.I have heard of people dieing after surgery because the bacteria was not taken care of with antibiotic and the body would not heal after surgery. I am uncertain about surgery now.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
From your query i understood that you are suffering from H.Pylori infection with some gastroduodenal disorder.
H.Pylori bacteria is supposed to be the common cause of gastric ulcer.
It is also associated with gastric cancer.
It can easily eradicated by antibiotics.
As you haved diagnosed H.Pylori, you must need antibiotics.

It is usual cure any infection before surgery by antibiotics.
As H.Pylori is in stomach, It may cause Peritonitis after surgery if not treated properly.
Thats why your doctor prescribed antibiotics for H.Pylori.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
If any doubt, Please reply.
