I was told 3-4 months in the beginning I had a drain and a reverse feeding tube draining my stomach...for 6 weeks that did not work so I went in and the stent put in(5/1) along with a third surgery to remove abscesses ...then on 7/29 they removed the stent and did an upper GI and the leak was healed....I just started purées today....the whole time I was sick I was clear liquids only and IV TPN....keep your head up there is a light at the end of the tunnel
