TMJ???

I had the sleeve done in August and I was doing well then I had a gallbladder issue. I just had my gallbladder removed in January and now I had pain in my left ear and popping of my jaw on the left side. I went to the doctor and they said it’s a slight case of TMJ. I don’t have chronic pain it’s only when chewing or trying to eat and it happens frequently. I’m scared I’m looking up everything online and everyone is saying you may need your jaw wired shut or surgery for the TMJ. I wanted to see if anyone had this problem after their weight loss. I am bad at taking my vitamins now I’m scared I screwed something else up. Has anyone had an issue? I am seeing a chiropractor on Monday and and oral surgeon next Tuesday. My dentist said the oral surgeon will take care of that.
