How long out from surgery are u pretty much in the clear? I'll be 4 weeks post op Monday, I've had no problems, and I'm on soft foods. Everyone seems to be coming down with a stomach bug and it freaks me out! Am I far enough it to not be worried anymore?

My surgeon told me that 7 weeks is the point where you can be sure you won't get a leak though the majority happen in the first few days.
