Will I still be able to vomit after surgery? 

It’s common to find it much harder to vomit after gastro-oesophageal reflux surgery, even once you have fully healed. Some people are still able to vomit, while others find that they can retch but not bring anything up. This is expected and not usually harmful, but it’s important to know before surgery. If you ever experience severe nausea, persistent retching, or cannot keep fluids down, you should contact your care team straight away for advice.
