Found a 5mm gallstone during my checkup but no pain or symptoms yet. Should I consider surgery or try medication to dissolve it? What's the best approach for something this small?

View allI'm dealing with some pretty bad abdominal pain, and my doctor suggested an endoscopy. Turns out, I've got a patulous GE junction, and he mentioned that I should lose some weight. I'm really worried. Is this something I need to be seriously concerned about? I've been on medication for a few days now, but the pain's still there. What should I do next?
No need to worry much follow your doctors advice,avoid spicy foods ,consume plenty of water,and maintain healthy life style.

I've been dealing with GERD and a hiatal hernia for 20 years and take daily meds should I consider surgery at this point? The constant meds are getting exhausting and I'm worried about long-term effects
Yes, after 20 years of daily medication for GERD and a hiatal hernia, it's reasonable to consider surgery, especially if you're concerned about long-term medication effects and experiencing persistent or bothersome symptoms. Surgery, such as fundoplication, can effectively address the underlying issues of GERD and hiatal hernia, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
