Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Vomiting and digestive distress is a side effect of pancreatic surgery due to some thing called gastric ileus. This can last several weeks and the digestive system can take up to 3 months to get back to normal. Inform his doctor/surgeon about these side effects.
Best,
Susan
