Why can some patients only sip post-op (RNY) & others drink normally?

Both my sister and myself have had the gastric bypass surgery. After her surgery she could barely swallow small sips. I, however, have had an almost normal (pre-surgery) ability to swallow drinks. Also, I have noticed that food doesn't get stuck easily. I know it definitely makes eating easier for me. But is that such a good thing? Thanks for your answers! :)
