For me it was about 6 weeks post op before the swelling went down enough to swallow a normal sized pill.

I still cannot swallow pills that are too fat. Long is fine like tylenol but if they are fat, for some reason they get hung up (stuck).

I have also had cervical fusion where they went through my throat so I am not certain if it is more about that. I had that fusion surgery 9 months after my RNY. It honestly could be that more than the bypass.

    After about 2 months, I was finally able to swallow the large Citrical vitamins.

    I had pills to swallow within couple of hours. Had a bit of pain in my stomach when taking them. Everything else I have I was told to have chewables (vitamins) my pain melds are pills never crushed any.

    It was 2 weeks for me. I dislike taking pills now but I don't have any issues.
