Brief Answer:
Stomach contents cant reach leg.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details,
How do you know that there is a hole in your stomach.Its not possible as this would have resulted in leaking of stomach contents into peritonial cavity which would result in severe sepsis and may be fatal in a day or two if not treated.
Stomach contents can't reach leg via stomach.
Don't worry take a Tablet of Prizolec 40 mg once daily for 3 days and you would be ok.
Thank you and regards!
