Suffering From Cerebral Palsy, Had A Nissen Fundoplication Done, Had A Slight Vomiting. Something Wrong As A Result Of Operation?
My son is 36 and has cerebral palsy . About a year and a half a go, he had a Nissen fundoplication done. I was told then that he wouldn t be able to vomit anymore, but last night he was vomiting quite a bit. He has had the flu shot and he hasn t been around anybody that has been sick so I m worried that something might be wrong as a result of the operation.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Usually, fundoplication surgery is simple, and does not lead to any complications.
You can use symptomatic treatment for vomiting, with medications such as ondansetron. If symptoms persist, you can get in touch with his surgeon.
Best wishes,
