Key Points

• We propose Helicobacter pylori eradication before surgery because of the postoperative foregut symptoms, increased risk of gastric cancer, and the lack of access to the excluded gastric remnant.

• The recurrence of HP infection decreases over time after bariatric surgery, regardless of the type of surgery.

• There are no significant differences between the techniques, as all of them reduced the rate of H. pylori infection in the patients.
