He said a “small polyp” was removed during the procedure, but the removal “damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube.”
“I am really very, very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently doing much better,” he wrote.
Barker and Kardashian, who married in 2022, share son Rocky, 2, whom they welcomed in November 2023.
