For persistant nausea and vomiting due to surgery that isn't responding to antiemetic cocktails, what else can be done?

Acupuncture possibly: I don't know whether your doctors have tried all possible antiemetics -- there are many. However, medical acupuncture can often be helpful in nausea and vomiting. Ask your doctors about physicians trained in acupuncture, or tcm professionals in your community.
