Yes, I could call my doc. For me to get an unfill, I'd have to fly to Mexico as my surgeon does all my fills. Also I don't have a passport yet...(I know, I'm a terrible procrastinator). And I find that I can control the PB stuff if I am much more careful about those first bites of food. I think I am swollen a bit too.
