A member asked:
I swallowed a hard round candy whole. i had the gastric bypass done 6 months ago. i am not in pain and feel like it's still stuck in my throat. what can i do to dissolve it faster or do i need to call my surgeon? thanks in advanced?

If you are able to swallow without difficulty and you have no nausea/vomiting, then drinking some warm liquids should help the candy dissolve. If you are having any of the above symptoms, or drinking warm liquids doesn’t help, then call your surgeon. Best of luck to you!
