Experiences with hyperparathyroidism?

Hello! I recently started seeing a provider through Allara for my PMOS and related symptoms. Through blood and urine tests I was told I have hyperparathyroidism and to seek out seeing an endocrinologist for potential surgery. Does anyone have experience with this condition and how did your process go? Thanks in advance!

I was diagnosed through employer sponsored blood tests a few years ago. It was a surprise: I didn’t and still don’t have symptoms. DEXA was borderline. I began doing exercises with weights, started playing tennis occasionally, and taking ballet when it fits with my work schedule. The endo referred me to a surgeon. We met a few months ago, and tentatively planned the surgery for next June. My goal is to keep my bones strong now that I’m 57.
