Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.
See , aspiration before or during a surgery is related to depressed level of consciousness due to sedation and also if food is there in your stomach.
Now since it's past , it is unlikely to be related.
However , you should get your Upper GI Endoscopy done to rule out Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
You may also discuss with your doctor regarding adding a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion , I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion.
Good Luck.
