More about Travis Barker's hospitalisation

Earlier in July, Barker was rushed to the hospital after he complained of excruciating pain while having dinner. He shared his health update with a note on Instagram that read, “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. This resulted in severe life-threatening pancreatitis. I am so very very grateful that with the intensive treatment I am currently much better(sic).”
