Hi,

NOted you history of Fundoplication operation for acid and heartburn problems, lots of nausea but unable to throw due to surgery, had stomach ulcer perforation and now having orange-yellow vomitus.
All this is obviously due to ulceration in stomach or duodenum.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
PPI like OMeprazole.
Domperidone.
Antacid orally.
Stop oily and foods if you have started.
Consult your Doctor immediately or see a Doctor in ER as you need urgent care.
Upper GI Endoscopy and other investigations as may be needed for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
