Travis Barker is doing “much better” after an suffering an attack of pancreatitis, a swelling of the pancreas that causes nausea, stomach pain and vomiting. Barker has been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. since June 28.
He shared an update on his condition on Instagram Stories Saturday (the statement has been transcribed just as Barker wrote it):
“I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But After dinner I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since.
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.
