Have any post ops had spontaneous bleeding in their mouths?

Yesterday I was sitting at work talking to a co-worker when I tasted something foul in my mouth. I got a tissue and dabbed the inside of my mouth and there was blood there! I went to the bathroom and tried to wash my mouth out and see where the bleeding was coming from, but all I could tell was it was coming from the top right hand side. By the time I could really get a good look, the bleeding had stopped. Has anyone else had bleeding gums/teeth? I don't know that it is WLS related, but it's never happened to me before and I have always had very good dental hygiene and no real problems until now......any suggestions? By the way, I'm 2 1/2 months post open rny and down 42.5lbs., in case that matters.....thanks!
