The symptoms (vomiting, constipation and abdominal pain) might be related to a condition that developed after the operation. The content of the vomiting mass might be helpful.

An examination by a specialist for upper gastrointestinal tracts or with an abdominal surgeon is recommended. Depending on the type of surgery, there might be a part of the intestines that is constantly irritated and consequently inflamed. The examination might show if medications can solve the problem or more drastic measures like surgery might be needed.
