I think I would call the doctor and just let them know. Are you taking preventive medication? I take post op meds for prevention of gallstones and stomach acid reduction.

Well, I'm getting the hang of this stuff and just joined MFP this morning. I am approaching my 51st birthday and am super excited about this stage of my life. I've been a caregiver in some capacity or another all my life and although I continue I want to put myself first. Looking forward to this weight loss journey!
