Travis Barker was hospitalized last week with pancreatitis, a severe acute pancreatitis. That writes the 46-year-old drummer of blink-182 on Twitter.
“I had an endoscopy Monday and I felt great, but after dinner I suddenly had excruciating pain and I’ve been in the hospital ever since,” writes Barker, who recently married Kourtney Kardashian.
“During the endoscopy, a small polyp was removed in a sensitive area, but unfortunately it hit a very important part of my pancreas. That led to life-threatening pancreatitis.”
Barker writes that he is doing a lot better now. “Intensive treatments make me feel much better and I am grateful for that,” he concludes.
On Tuesday it was announced that Barker had been taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles. Due to the inflammation, he would suffer from nausea, severe abdominal pain and vomiting. His wife Kourtney was with him in the hospital.
