I know this is an older thread but I had WLS 3 yrs ago and just got a new hip 9/6/12...walker for 6 weeks toe touch only...NO WAY I could've made it at top weight, my arms & hands were killing me from the walker, since then, I've had pretty much no pain unless I've gotten carried away, I have a tendency to do that. Good Luck whenever it's scheduled for both surgeries! by the way, the more weight you carry shortens the life of the new hip and crazy things like running & trampoline, I was advised against things like that!

You seem to have multiple problem related to your tummy. If you feel that hernia is the cause for all the problems in the esophagus, it is better to consult a Gastroenterologist. If I may recommend, pls visit Shouldice Hospital to check whether you need a hernia repair , so that most of your problems will be solved.
If your condition is really bad than i should go for the surgeries. Some times it is scary because of the side effects but you must clarify all your doubts before going to surgery.
Most of us wants to have natural pain relief for arthritis. Diet and exercises are some the effective methods.
Like gout often affects when patient consumes foods that produce high uric acid, this can be controlled by diet that is excluding foods like meats,alcoholic beverages and many purine rich foods and including foods like bean curd, dark berries like black berries or blue berries, salmon, flaxseeds and olive oil.
Doing exercise on regular basis does not cure arthritis but it reduces the joint pain to a minimum level. It helps to tone the muscles, conserves the bone strength which keep the joints fit. It also improve the mental stability.
2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!
1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!
2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!
3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.
4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.
5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

Maybe you are experiencing the pain because of your weight..Or maybe you have some problems related to bone and joint.My suggestion you should go for checkup to an Ortho specialist.
when you went to the rhumy did they send you to get blood work or did they run any other test on you. i was diagnosed with RA almost 1 1/2 year ago and i had alot of the same symptoms your having. it showed up in my blood work i had a high sed rate but not everyone will show up on the blood work so you might want to look up rheumatoid arthritis. there is an amazing page on face book or online as well called the http://rawarrior.com/ they have tones of info. hopefully this helps you some cuz i know before i was diagnosed i felt like i was going crazy because i would tell my docs about the pain and i feel like they didnt believe me even my own family would say there is no way your in as much pain as you say you are until i got to the point where i couldnt walk or even feed myself because my hands stop working. so good luck i hope you get the relief u need
