New connection made between the ends of the stomach and esophagus leak?

Hi,I did the following:

New connection made between the ends of the stomach and esophagus leak?The surgery was done 3 weeks ago, but there is still a leak where the esophagus and stomach is connected. Does anyone know how much time it takes to heal? If you could advice a web page, where I can find the answer, it would be nice. Thank you.
