Serious condition: This requires more or ouch evaluation. You could have a partial bowel obstruction due to previous abdominal surgery but in all likelihood, this is not directly related to the appendectomy. It sounds as of you may have a malabsorption syndrome or possible disease effecting the bile duct, pancreas or gallbladder. Discuss with your primary care physician or gastroenterologist.

See a GI doctor: The symptoms are not likely caused by an appendectomy. However, these symptoms are serious and need to be evaluated by a GI doctor.

Biliary disease: Vomiting after eating fatty foods could be a symptom of biliary disease. Appendectomy patients carry a small increased risk and incidence of biliary disease compared to patients without a prior appendectomy, about 15%. Okay to get evaluated by your regular doc, ask for RUQ ultrasound to access your gallbladder for stones, a tech hida can help if us is normal. Good luck.
