Gall Bladder Removal, Hair Loss, Tiredness, Flank Pain, Elevated Calcium

I have labs showing elevated calcium serum (10.5 range to 10.4) low Vitamin D and K. My gallbladder removed three months ago, but continue to have flank/kidney pain. I did not have stones or sludge , rather, chronic inflammation . I have been very tired and I have a lot of hair loss, and have lost 6 lbs since my gallbladder was removed. doctors not in agreement with further testing of parathyroid. Suggestions?

I would check thyroid and PTH levels, also obtain an ultrasound of the neck to look for any nodules in the thyroid or parathyroid glands.
