Travis Barker’s battle with pancreatitis

Travis Barker’s latest health issue comes two months after he was hospitalized for pancreatitis in late June. The disease was caused by an inflammation in his pancreas.

The 46-year-old shared details of the experience on his Instagram story when he was released.

Barker mentioned that he went to the medical center for a routine procedure. However, during surgery, one of her pancreatic drainage tubes was damaged.

The father of two wrote: ‘I had an endoscopy on Monday feeling great. But after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since.’

He further explained: “During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube.”

Meanwhile, Barker’s celebrity wife, Kourtney Kardashian, was by his side the entire time he was hospitalized in Los Angeles.

At the time she stated: ‘Oh, what a scary and emotional week it’s been. Our health is everything, and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change. Travis and I went in for a routine endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.
