I found out 2 weeks ago when I was postop 4 weeks that I have a small leak.

The treatment that was prescribed is that I cannot have anything to eat or drink for 4 weeks. I receive all of my nutrition through a large bag of fluid known as TPN or Hyperal. I am hooked to an IV pump through a line in my chest and receive the fluid 14 hours a day. At the end of 4 weeks I am to have another upper GI and see if my stomach has sealed the leak. I wondered if anyone else has gone through this and if it worked for them. I was told there was a 90% chance that my stomach would heal on its own, but I am concerned about what the next step would be if it does not.
