We will never know but I am guessing she was on a lot of drugs and that is why did not seek medical attention for the pain. Opioids cause constipation anyway so drug users may ignore pain that others would get treatment for.

Here's more info on small bowel obstruction, so that post-ops may know what to be on the watch for. Strangely enough, the article says that Presley had been complaining of the painful and distressing symptoms of the obstruction for months before she passed. No idea why she didn't contact her bariatric surgeon in regard to the matter all that time. By the time of her death, she had about 30 feet of blood-starved bowel as a result of the obstruction, the autopsy reports.

GEEZ .. and I hate to admit it, but, like many of us on here, she had the D.S. procedure. Anyone know how long ago her WLS took place? Looking back at past news articles, she did seem to be beaming to the media about her weight loss approximately 10 years ago. She attributed same to them as supposedly being due to changes in her diet and exercise. However, we all know the stigma to many of putting it out there that they have had WLS, for various personal reasons.

Topic: RE: Alklaine Water Machine Worth It?

Alkaline water is essentially water with added minerals to raise its pH level. You can achieve a similar effect by using readily available products like antacids such as Tums or Alka-Seltzer, which can help neutralize stomach acid. These options can be more affordable and offer comparable relief.

Wow, that's quite an incredible transformation for the couple featured on Access Hollywood. Losing over 400 lbs is no small achievement, and it's great to hear that they've gained such a massive following on TikTok.
