what is the proper treatment and follow up for H Pylori?

My pre op Endoscopy revealed an H Pylori infection. I just began the 2 weeks course of antibiotics today, but my surgeon's office told me I must WAIT 30 DAYS after COMPLETEING the antibiotics, then have a "breath test"! WHY the 30 day wait, and why can't I simply repeat the Endoscopy right away after completing the medicine?
