I'm thinking I'll let my AME know before I go just so that all the tests and documentation required by the FAA get done.

Thanks for everyone's input.
Hold on there! Your AME and/or OKC will likely ground you until you can prove that you don't have kidney stones. Maybe you should talk to an aviation medicine consultant before the AME.
