I had surgery 3 years ago and now my staple line has failed.

I have recently found out that I am leaking and I have an ulcerated staple line. I feel so lost and wonder what I did to cause this. I had the Roux Y surgery and I understand that only 1% have a problems with the staple line. I feel very sick. I am having problems getting to see a surgeon with my HMO. I have a fever a lot of the time and am worried about infection. I wish that I could find more on my problem. I am afraid that surgery will not be done for me. Please someone help me figure out this mess.
