  3. For starters my Vitamin D was low. I was having cramping in my legs thought for sure it was low potassium and it was not. My legs also felt heavy. But now that issue has been resolved. So I agree to start with lab work.

  13. I was recent dx hernia. It does explain my symptoms. From what I read most people got EGD pre op and got their hernia fixed with their sleeve if it was found. I didn't. So, fast forward to today I'm not sure what the course for me will be. Started back on a PPI. Looking into options.
  14. Sorry it wasn't so great but Was the hernia resolved? Just concerned about reoccurrence.
  15. Wondering how did your surgery go.I just found out I have gerd and a hernia.
