Terry Dubrow Warns on Weight Loss Surgeries Like Lisa Marie Presley's
"I have read Lisa Marie's autopsy report. She had the most advanced kind," he said about the 54-year-old's procedure in aon July 14. "They made a new connection between her stomach and her intestines, and the most common complication when you go inside the abdomen and do that kind of surgery is that scar tissue forms."
He continued, "Occasionally, any time in the future when you've had this type of bypass bariatric surgery, those adhesions can block parts of the small intestine, called a small bowel obstruction."According to the reconstructive surgeon, if this goes on long enough, it can cause the intestines to die because of strangulation.
"What's really scary," Dr. Dubrow noted, "is 915 centimeters, which means 30 feet of her small intestines had died before she made it to the hospital."Lisa's cause of death was due to complications resulting from a small bowel obstruction and has been ruled as natural, per records from the County of Los Angeles Medical-Examiner, which were reviewed by E! News.
