Post-ops: Anyone experiencing toothgum problems?

I just noticed that I have receeding gums on two of my teeth. There's about 3mm of tooth root showing. My teeth were fine a couple of weeks ago. My dentist said that this is peridontal disease. I take 80 gms of protein a day, plus alot of other vitamins and minerals. I also get all of my water in every day. I am 3 mos post op, open RNY (150 cm bypassed -- some say this is proximal, some say distal) down 49 pounds. Have any of you had this problem, and was the onset sudden like this?
