Thanks for that. I had a section of my colon flatten out and ended up in the ER in a lot of pain. Had the bad section removed. They had me up and out fairly quickly after that.

This is something I’m afraid of because I had a radical hysterectomy. I was up and moving around pretty good but have a lot of pain now. Seeing my GI in a couple days

Back in the 80s I was a teenager and had my appendix removed. During the night I got up on my own to go to the bathroom and got caught coming back. The nurse flipped out that I should not have gotten up especially on my own. They didnt believe in walking around right away. How times have changed! 😀 Thats also a time when u could smoke in your rooms too lol

I was simply curious how such a lovely young women passed away.ļ

Thank you, Greg. I did research and what I said is what I came up with. I'll remember this if it comes up in future.

The most common cause does not mean in this case should be the cause for bilateral oophorectomy. Neither you nor any of us is qualified to speculate to determine what was the cause for bilateral oophorectomy. Her ovaries were gone well before she was gone. RIP. Lisa, a year later people talk and are interested about your well gone before you ovaries…… we are just humans…..forgive us.

I just started so I haven't seen that part yet, but I'm 5"2' so I'm curious now to see what she looked like at the weight they are saying she was. The picture shown, was it when she died? Was the weight when died? Well I'll watch and see. I also never new she was my size!

If you're going by the picture he used for the video, yes she looks thin, but unless we see her entire body, it's hard to say. My face is the first place I lose weight, and my stomaches is the last (unfortunately) We would really need a full body picture.

Yea that really surprised me, she looked so thin

Maybe water gain ? Abdomen

Truly horrific. The worst pain ever, I can’t imagine what she went through.

Please....It's "losing." NOT "loosing!"

I'm so sorry. That surgery also took a friend of friend of mine. I had absolutely no idea how dangerous that surgery is. I thought it was rare but your sister, Lisa Marie & someone in my circle says that's a risky surgery. I am really sorry you lost your sister.

That surgery terrifies me.

very sad, i'm worried about a friend who got it done in mexico

It makes no sense and easy way out from eating healthy. Your body can’t be getting enough nutrients there is no way, so in the long run your major organs will suffer and most likely deteriorate. Heart, liver, kidneys, etc.

So sorry about the loss of your Sister. 🙏

I’ve had every test out there for my stomach and abdominal pain. They can’t find anything wrong with me. And I mean every test but I’m still in pain, they tell me it’s a spastic colon. My sister has some sort of stomach pain (she won’t tell me what?) but she’s all bloated, like she’s 9 mos. pregnant--her Dr can’t find anything wrong with her either. So sometimes it’s not the patients fault.

@sharoncerretani I'm sorry you're going through all that. I myself have had issues that doctors can't find the root cause of. But i def wasn't saying that every single medical issue is able to be discoverered (esp quickly) nor treatable. Nor that doctors and medical staff are super heroes. What I will reiterate is by listening to your body and not ignoring obvious problems, it can save your life. If you're in life threatening danger, your vitals signs will tell us most of the time and it usually leads to fast track access to things like advanced imaging and exploratory surgery. If you're not in life threatening danger, then you need to advocate for yourself and are stuck usually going the primary care through to a specialist route. That said, in my trained opinion and knowing how the ER works, if she sought medical attention sooner given her history of bariatric surgery and constipation issues (whether it was due to something else or opiate use..doesn't matter) the physicians would have ordered a ultrasound stat. Severe abdominal pain is taken seriously. A burst appendix, a blockage, and pancreatitis are the first things they would have looked for. They would have used imaging to look for structural abnormalities. They also could use radioactive imaging to look for blood flow. She had a lot of abdominal surgies with having her ovaries removed, her stomach reduced, and gallbladder removed. All those things put you at increased risk for scar tissue, they would have looked for this and odds are found the adhesions or the ischemia of the bowel that'd lead them to the adhesions. The fix? More surgery. Maybe she didn't want to be fixed and was over this life. Maybe she didn't seek medical attention due to scientology. Maybe the pain wasn't really THAT bad until it was "too late". Maybe she was in a mental health state that altered her from wanting to receive treatment like addiction, denial, or whatever. We won't know the answers. Alls I was trying to get across is that our bodies tend to tell us when something isn't right and we need to be our own advocates by listening to them and taking charge of our own medical care. Doctors are biological investigators. They use tools and assessment to determine what is wrong. Sometimes certain things are easier to figure our and treat than others. Lisa's life threatening ailments that killed her are on the "easier to find" spectrum. Some ppl say she didn't get checked out due to her scientology beliefs. I'm curious about that because she sought active treatment for her mental health struggles including addiction and depression. So why would scientology prevent her from the less stigmatizing or "benign" of the two? Anyway, I hope she is at peace now.

Thank you for the clarification,I was slightly confused at the term....I must say that scar tissue is notoriously bad to see on standard scans etc and are only usually found at endoscopic surgery.She might have been told that it was infrequent symptom of bariatric surgery or if rumours are to believe a side effect of ozempic (nausea,stomach pain are common) so she may have thought it would pass untill it was too late.

Not to mention all the repercussions of the rna shmax.

I can relate, never been really sick. Starting having several pains in back...SEVERE. went to ER, I woke up once going on gruny, guy says white blood count is 39,000. Woke up 7 days later attached to every machine possible. My kidney shut down sepsis set in all within 1 day. I had 46 staples in my breastbone to my thigh. 30 days later I got to go home. If anybody doesn't feel right. GO TO THE ER. I would have died in another 6 hours

She was on suboxone/buprenorphine so even if she continued using Oxycontin or any other prescription opiate, she would not have felt any relief from them at the time of her death. Buprenorphine blocks the receptors in the brain that would be triggered by opiates. Suboxone can cause constipation but that is much more common with methadone, another medication for the treatment of the same dependency.

Opiods definitely can make your stomach lazy or Not functioning correctly.

You are correct

People don’t realize that if the stuff in the gut doesn’t move out regularly it becomes a poison. Some think that going #2 once a month is ok. The things i hear it’s unbelievable and doctors are as ignorant to the facts. Any good doctor would know if the patient is not regular its a cause for serious concern.

I have a slow metabolism that gave me diabetes type 1. It can drive you crazy. Took Mounjaro and now gut works for whatever reason and diabetes is gone! Wonder if she was so used to pain in abdomen that she missed the clue to get quicker help. She had a strange, miserable to her, life.

I have also experienced several bowel obstruction episodes finally resulting in a bowel resection in 2017. I was screaming my head off in agonizing pain😱,no way a couple of Tylenol could fix that even if the accompanying nausea would have allowed swallowing them😢 I'm amazed that she didn't call for an ambulance since the pain is indescribable. R.I.P Lisa Marie❤

My grandma had a very rare blood disease. I seen her go through more than any human should ever have to. But, I have to admit that her bowel obstruction was the hardest thing to watch. What a tortured experience for Lisa Marie. It is heartbreaking that she was suffering so badly in the end. I pray she is resting peacefully😢❤

I’ve had two of those buggers, and I’d rather be in unmedicated labor than ever deal with that pain again. I was vomiting a la The Exorcist and I ended up collapsing on our front porch as we were trying to go to the ER. The pain isn’t just bad-it’s EXCRUCIATING. Poor Lisa Marie, she must’ve been so scared!

I’m currently in hospital with a small bowel obstruction. Been here for a month now. Poor Lisa must of been in dreadful pain. Rip Yisa x

I had gallbladder surgery in west hills hospital in 1985. The entire situation was horrific. I never went to that hospital again. Another hospital relatively close to her home would have been so much better, los Robles which is also a trauma center, would have been a better choice. So sad.

Remarkable life ended way too soon & definitely could of been avoided. IMO she died emotionally the day her son committed suicide and it was last January when she physically died.

She had many medical issues. She didn't get medical attention. She should have. So sad she didn't. May she rest in Peace. ❤️❤️

I respectfully disagree that "a doctor" could have fixed her. A team was needed, each bringing their specialist skills to her aid. Believe me, I'm going through multiple acute and long standing conditions with my mother and it's heartbreaking that there's no one port of call to address complex needs. I'd move mountains to create one but that's not reality I'm afraid.

By the time you would realize your colon is literally dying you would definitely up your chances of surviving by seeking an ER immediately but that kind of emergency is so dire it would be no easy task to survive.

Thank you!

You make a very important point scientology doesn't approve of doctors in general it goes against their beliefs having said that Lisa Marie had been left for some years before her death

If part of my job was reading reports verbatim to my audience of tens or hundreds of thousands of people (in fact if I had to read in front of one person) I would read the report first off camera, highlight the words I wasn't 100% sure of the pronunciation, Google the pronunciation, note the phonetic spelling on the document, then read it again off camera. THEN I would turn the camera on. If my presentation had me stutter even once, I would keep repeating it until I got it right, then edit that part. This guy didn't do that bad of a job. But I see other channels that regulary butcher words without even bothering to Google the correct pronunciations or edit their videos. Sorry for the rant, but this is a pet peeve with me!

Thank you for your work in the CCU - my late husband was diagnosed with strep pneumonia and the nurses ( male and female) did an excellent job! They knew he wouldn't make it, but they did the best they could - including a tape line around the bed! I came in the next morning and saw blue tape around the floor! It's like wtf, where did this come from! My family giggled and told me the family got a little goofy the night before and so one of the male nurses put the tape down as a restriction to (no trespass zone) It was funny and serious at the same time!

@@maryellenshock - I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband - and am pleased to hear that he had good care.

Opiates strangle the small intestines you can't poop..Elvis died of exactly same thing..Very important to poop every day..

what is "Ileus? please.

@amandarobb2856 I have crohn's and had five intestinal resections (where the small and large join), the first surgery was after a serious car accident where my intestines ruptured, followed br surgeries that were due to scar tissue at the site of the previous surgery, was followed by a crohn's flare up with ulcers and obstructions. The pain is more painful than child birth. For myself the pain came in waves, each wave building in more pain and some relief after explosive vomiting. I've been told by doctors and nurses I have a high tolerance to pain as I usually am off pain meds by day 2 after surgical resection. I was admitted to the hospital with twisted sigmoid colon in 2006 thankfully it straightened out on it's own,

@jamesrockjr An ileus is what he described Lisa Marie as having where her intestines had "no movement ". I just gave a more accurate definition.

That sounds awful. Thank you for educating me about it so can have more understanding what others go through. I hope you can be free of it from now on.

Wrong Subutex does not block the affects of an opiate because it does not contain the opiate blocker Naloxone. Now Suboxone does. But not Subutex. Subutex was designed to have the opiate blocker in it for the use with pregnant women since Naloxone causes birth defects &/or premature birth or even death.

Yeah it hurts so bad it exceeds passing a kidney stone and equal to violent onset severe migraine on pain scale. I felt like I was dieing and began to wish for it.

I don’t know about you guys but when I had a perforated bowel it hurt so much I was screaming. To add to that I’d gone septic which leaves you literally feeling like you’re dying. I’d rather have gone through labor and delivery with all 3 of my kids at the same time with no epidural. At least I would have had my kids after all that pain. As it was I got a bowel resection which was performed by a kid with a butter knife. But that's another story.

@@bellasmom2597 when I had my first obstruction, I collapsed on my front porch as my husband was about to take me to the ER. Once I had arrived there, it was like Exorcist-level vomiting and excruciating agony. I’d sooner deliver my 7lb baby sideways than do that again. And the next time it happened, I caught it earlier but had to have a nasogastric tube, and that hurt so badly that I blacked out when they placed it. In any case, I don’t get how this poor woman went for any length of time before trying to access help. And my heart goes out to her-I have no doubt her last cognizant moments were spent frightened and in immense pain, and that is awful for her.

You have no idea what it's like to be in pain and how hard it is to function everyday with horrific pain. The Dea needs to let Dr's do what they think is best and just keep and eye on how much the Dr's give and make sure it follows with the individuals illnesses, and not treating us like a bunch of rat in a box and everyone gets the same amount of meds. I'm sick of it. 😢 😢 😭 😭 Walk in my shoes than see how you'd feel if not given meds with my illnesses. 😡 🤬 The DEA SUCKS. Our government is purposely killing us.

Doctors are the third leading cause of death in this country. Why are we ok with that? I’ve had 2 almost kill me, one made me wait a week before taking out my burst appendix, thought it was a hole in my colon. That surgery caused 5 hernias, the next doc fixed hernias and left drain tubes in to long and I got sepsis. I have no faith in doctors AT ALL.

It was not one thing but everything together that caused her premature death.

Death by a thousand cuts, poor lamb.

She was never grossly obese so who would do this surgery on her? Just a money grubbing surgeon.

She was attending parties for the 48 hours before to celebrate her dads film release, these parties are rife with drugs.

Scott, very informative. I know they shouldn't have had her on subboxe along with oxocodone. They basically killed the icon with medications. How darn sad. Those Doctors should be held accountable. I'm sorry, but this is just the cold hearted truth. They really were putting her body, thru hell, and it costed her life. If I were her daughters, I would certainly go after them.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

She NEVER needed weight loss surgery! I bet she got it after she had the twins, I am SURE she didn’t qualify in terms of having a BMI over 35, but doctors will do anything for celebrities and money. I think she had that “Presley weight mentality.” Elvis said when Pricilla was first pregnant that “women use pregnancy as an excuse to let themselves go.” She really ate apples and eggs, and prided herself on never needing to buy a single maternity outfit and only gaining 4lbs on the day she gave birth. Elvis LOVED southern food and would gain massive amounts of weight between tours, even when he was young and fit, then would always become addicted to diet pills and sweating it out in the sauna, but as he got older, his metabolism slowed down, he was on so many uppers and downers that they canceled each other out and in the very end his whole group of guys in the “Memphis Mafia” his friends and cousins who took care of him and were his “yes men” were like “the tour starts in two weeks, he’s still huge, and in denial, he won’t let his fans see him like this and the drugs are taking over, he doesn’t care about anything.” If ANYONE dare step up and try to say something along the lines of “E, don’t you think you need to slow down with the pills and start coming off, you have to perform!” They’d get fired on the spot. He knew he’d never make that tour as large as his weight ballooned too and the pills made him so foggy and in denial. He had so many “Elvis doctors” who just wanted a connection with him who were prescribing ANYTHING he wanted, but all his “Elvis doctors” weren’t really aware of how many he had on call that would rush to Graceland at 2am with whatever he wanted. I’ve read pretty much every book from every insider, and pretty much everyone lined up, but he was OBSESSED with weight, his dad Vernon constantly chided him about the large portions he ate day and night and it bothered him a great deal. So, I’m certain this was an issue with Lisa Marie, we never saw her pregnant with the twins because she went to London to live, but I am 100% certain with her tiny frame she never needed or qualified for any kind of weight loss surgery!

There are some pretty unflattering photos of her shopping with her twin girls and she was quite heavy/bigger than usual as she seems quite petite.

OMG! I was diagnosed with Alphagal1 about a month ago! Elvis had that?! I had never heard of it until the diagnosis. My diet is extremely limited! No fun! I can see bowel issues. With me it's sporadic eating habits, nothing balanced and regular. On top of this About 30 meds and supplements. Disabled in my 30's-40's with fibromyalgia (chronic muscle/joint pain and fatigue (with brain fog). I'm 71 and just learned of Alphagal1. Fibro pain and fatigue almost disappeared over night after diet began! Oxycodine was only med that gave some relief to fibro pain. Originally prescribed 6 per day at high mg many years of that. Present doctor is helping me to get off of all meds if possible and just this week my oxy which had been 4 a day with lower mg is now cut back to 3 a day. Many other meds I have are related to heart issue, breathing, thyroid, depression, water retention, prescribed vitamins, supplements are just a few issues. Last 8 mos tried new therapy for harmone/testosterone implants (had 2 implants in 8 mo). Had 2 replacement surgeries in past 3 yrs (knee and hip) which helped me cut smoking in half! Slow process. How did Elvis even sing with lung/liver condition? His manager pushed him to death too! Maybe Elvis would still be with us, and Lisa Marie if they had "retired" and had medical treatment and rest. They lived extremely high stress jobs/life styles-not always easy to change. Lots of high profile people pass away much too soon and we grieve those losses forever.
