He said that the “life-threatening” pancreatitis was responsible for Travis Barker’s alarming hospitalization on Tuesday.
Barker, who was married to Kourtney Kardashian in May said that he had undergone an endoscopy Monday. This included the removal of a small polyp in “a very sensitive region, normally handled by specialists.”
Barker, 46 years old, stated that the procedure had caused damage to a pancreatic drain tube.
He said, “This led to severe and life-threatening pancreatitis.” Pancreatitis refers to severe inflammation of the pancreas, which is a gland that aids in digestion.
Barker, who suffered “excruciating pain” after dinner that night, sought medical attention Tuesday. He has been in hospital ever since, according the post.
He wrote in the post, “I am so very grateful that I am currently better with intensive treatment,”
Barker sent a tweet the day he was admitted to hospital: “God save my life!” Barker did not clarify whether the tweet was about his health. This term also appears in the title of a Machine Gun Kelly song that was released in March and includes Barker’s producer credit.
Shanna Moakler, Barker’s ex, stated in a statement that Barker is in great hands. She said, “He is surrounded by loving support, the best medical teams and his beautiful wife Kourtney.
She said, “Travis has overcome the odds many times and I know that he will again with his support system.”
