Long hike planned 6 wks after gallbladder removal. Am I insane to consider this?

I have a cholecystectomy planned for mid June. I am symptomatic with lotsa stones and a couple large gallbladder polyps so I can’t delay for months.

I already have a long hike (10-12 miles a day for 9 days with elevation) planned at the end of July. Bathrooms will be limited.

This is also in a foreign country with unfamiliar food to me. I’m worried about diarrhea.

I can’t decide whether to reschedule this hike or not and would love some opinions!
