what is a fistula in the stomach

i am one week post op when they did the leak test they found i didnt have a leak but i had a fistula between my old stomach and my new one my dr doesnt seem to know much about this or what to do he said it would probably seal itself off but i would have to stay on liquids a lot longer than planed he thought it might be caused because they made me drink to much when they did the leak test that it had put to much pressure on the pouch im not sure about this or if he is just trying to blame it on someone else i have looked on this sight and found a little about this but not anything just like mine i wonder what this does to your body and to your weight loss i hope someone can help me with this i dont know what to do i am realy worried if anyone would like to email me my adress is [email protected] this sight has helped me so much to get to this point dont know what i would do without it thanks heather sloan
