H pylori

I took the antibiotics for 7 days and had the breath test done about 2mos after cuz my schedule has been very tight and the NP was pressuring me to get it done lol I was trying to have it done in Mississauga but the Hospitals don't do it here & my other option was TGH (in Toronto) lol which required a day off for but hey i know I will be spending a lot of $$ on other things that are not covered so I chose to take a vacation day to get it covered lol and save the $$ for something that is not covered such as OPTI Fast.

I am at the stage of meeting the surgeon which is this month on the 22nd. I am told I will get my surgery date & purchase the OPTI Fast at this appointment. 

I am hoping to get my surgery date in approx 6 wks after lol it has been quite the journey and am looking excitedly forward to the next stage.

Best wishes and luck with your journey.     

Hopefully the test is cover at the Brampton hospital. Is there a way to find out? My Dr wanted me to have it done at Mount Sinai but since I work and live in Brampton. It's closer for me to do it here. If I have to go down I will lol.

who's your surgeon? Mine is Dr Klein at HRRH

I'm happy for you!!!! You're so close, 22nd isn't far.

i'm excited to have mine done as well.

You can call the Brampton Hospital to find out, they don't do it at Trillum or Credit Valley.   

I am seeing Dr. Okrainec @ TWH.  :-)

I also tested positive for H -pylori. Everything was fine after the antibiotics. I was told by TWH that the test was covered if they did it but if any other clinic or hospital did it I would need to pay. I think it is because they have Bariatric Services and this is a standard test for Bariatric Services, but I'm not sure.

Good Luck!
