Background Bariatric surgeons often advocate preoperative Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) testing and eradication because of the increased risk of postoperative ulcers and foregut symptoms in H. pylori-positive patients. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate whether body mass index (BMI) might influence the success rate of eradication.Methods Eighty one nondiabetic naive H. pylori-positive patients were divided into two groups according to their BMI, with 41 in the control group (normal BMI) and 40 in the overweight/obese group (BMI >= N25). Gastroscopy was performed and multiple biopsies were obtained from the antrum and corpus. Both groups were given a triple therapy consisting of pantoprazole 40 mg for 2 weeks plus amoxicillin 1 g tris in die (t.i.d), and clarithromycin 250 mg t.i.d, for the first week of treatment. Eradication was confirmed by the C-13-urea breath test at 3 months.Results Successful eradication was observed in 55.0% of the overweight/obese group compared with 85.4% [p
