3 year out RNY swallowed gauze

My sister is three years out from her rny surgery. She went to the dentist yesterday and had a tooth pulled. When she went to take her tylenol she accedently swallowed the gauze they had pack in her gum. Should she be worried or will this just pass through her system.
