Has anyone experienced a failure in the staple line?

I am 4 months post op and started to have pain , almost like heart burn. I went and had an upper GI done and a barium swallow and the report came back that there might be a possible failure in the staple line. Anyone been through this and what were your options. I was a little nervous that something might be wrong. I am 4 months post op and have lost 60 pounds. 60 pounds for me is GREAT, I guess I just thought I would have lost more by now. I know that sounds horrible. Weight and food sure can play mind games. I would appreciate any help with this. Thanx Shelby
