Staple Line Disruption?

I had open RNY sixteen months ago. Started at 360 ish and lost about 105 pounds in the first 10 months. In the past six months, I have stayed the same. I asked my doc about the possibility of a staple line disruption. He says he can run a test but it costs $500. I do not have insurance and am hesitant about paying for a test I mau not need. Can anyone who has experienced something similar tell me what you did? Also, what are the symptoms of a staple line distruption. Also, is it possible for me to lose another 80 pounds to reach goal?
