Thanks for your question on HCM. .
In my opinion you should consult gastroenterologist and get done UPPER GI SCOPY. As possibility of recurrence of stomach cancer is more.
This may cause narrowing of lumen and obstruction to the food. So due to mechanical obstruction vomiting occurs.
This can be the possibility.
So to rule out this upper gi scopy is must. Also get done CT abdomen to rule out metastases in lymphnodes and distal bowel.
