We often take a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the icons of yesteryears.

One notable personality is the charismatic Lisa Marie Presley. You might know her as the 'Princess of Rock and Roll', a title she partially inherited from her legendary father, Elvis Presley.

Lisa Marie charmed the world with her music, leaving a distinctive mark on the industry.

However, her life was tragically cut short—with the spotlight now on the circumstances of her untimely demise.

Eyebrows have been raised given the recent revelation linking her death to complications from a previous weight loss surgery.

So, what exactly transpired?

On the 12th of January, the 54-year-old musician was found unresponsive at her home and was swiftly taken to a Los Angeles hospital.

Hours later, she tragically passed away. The cause? The autopsy attributed her death to complications from a small bowel obstruction related to previous bariatric surgery.

To give context to those unfamiliar, bariatric surgeries induce weight loss via various operational modifications to the stomach or intestines.

These measures are often seen as a final resort in cases of moderate to severe obesity when traditional weight loss methods fail.

Bariatric surgery is not exclusive to the United States. In fact, weight loss surgeries are on the rise globally, including in Australia.

According to the Australian New Zealand Metabolic and Obesity Surgery Society (ANZMOSS), these procedures have dramatically increased in recent years due to a higher prevalence of obesity and improved access to treatments.

But are these surgeries risky? A resounding no from Dr Marina Kurian, the president of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).

She cites bariatric surgery as generally being 'very safe', even more so than gallbladder surgery.

The risk of major complications is about 4 per cent, and death is remarkably minimal at around 0.1 per cent.

Returning to specifics of Presley's case, experts suspect the formation of scar tissue following the surgery led to obstructions in Presley's small bowel, tragically culminating in a series of fatal complications.

These adhesions can potentially lead to kinks and blockages in the intestine, according to Dr Thomas Inge, a Chief Surgeon and Bariatric Surgery Expert at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, US.

In the case of Presley, it was observed that she had a twist in her entire intestine, as noted by Dr Inge, who reviewed the autopsy report.

If not addressed, such blockages can disrupt the blood flow to the intestine, resulting in the bowel becoming ‘strangulated’ and giving rise to a series of potentially life-threatening complications.

In Presley's case, this led to a toxic build-up of acids in her body, ultimately causing her heart to stop, as indicated in the autopsy report.

The report states that Presley had reported experiencing abdominal pain and feeling unwell on the morning of her death, although it remains unclear whether the pain was a new occurrence.

Dr Inge advises that individuals who have undergone abdominal surgery should seek immediate medical attention if they experience abdominal pain. With early diagnosis, it is possible to treat the problem effectively.

Key Takeaways

• Lisa Marie Presley died due to complications of a small bowel obstruction linked to her previous bariatric surgery.
  
• Experts mention that these types of complications, while known, are a rare risk after weight loss surgery.
  
• Bariatric surgeries, performed on the stomach or intestines to boost weight loss, are generally considered very safe, with the risk of major complications being about 4 per cent overall.
  
• Presley's death was caused by a cascade of problems beginning with a twist in her intestine which cut off the blood flow, leading to a toxic build-up of acids in her body and eventually stopping her heart.

As we remember Lisa and reflect on the circumstances surrounding her death, let us take this moment to recognise the significance of our health. Regular check-ups, balanced nutrition, physical activity, and cherishing the gift of life all contribute to our well-being and vitality.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Lisa Marie Presley's family, friends, and fans as they navigate this difficult time.

May her soul find eternal peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire and resonate with future generations.

I too have had Weight loss surgery and had nothing but trouble in and out of hospital over the last two years. Please do your research into this procedure and Dr that is going to do it.

Weight loss surgery does address many issues that obesity brings on.

Without going into the numerous medical conditions obesity can cause, having a bariatric procedure can give a person the simple relief that allows them to not lose breath while walking (for fitness, leisure or even when going up a staircase).

I'd say that anyone who has had this surgery must be vigilant for discomfort and/or pain and see their doctor asap to determine whether there is a complication.

The report on Lisa notes that she complained of abdominal pain on the day she passed away.

I'd think that this pain would have started earlier and that she might have chosen to 'soldier on' with her busy schedule.

 

[Gsr]

I’m guessing there could be a rise in deaths from complications of bariatric surgery, given the rapid rise in numbers of people having it done during Covid, when you could access money from superannuation. So many people I know got money out and used it for this surgery, and so many of them have already experienced complications, a lot of them serious complications resulting in multiple more surgeries to correct the complications.

 

[Macarj]

I think if your having that surgery you should be well aware of your own body and understand if your feeling different in any way see a doctor

 

[PepeLePew]

In all the photos I have ever seen of Lisa-Marie at no time did she ever look to be obese let alone overweight. But like so many superstars of today she probably though that the only way to be accepted was to undergo cosmetic surgery to keep her looking thin & beautiful. Such a sad lose of life all because she couldn't accept herself for who she was.

There are much safer ways to lose weight than these drastic surgeries.....eat healthy and exercise.
Looking at photos going back to the 50's and 60's, there was no such thing as obesity, everybody was normal weight. When you see what a lot of people eat at restaurants these days, it's no wonder obesity has become a big problem, and also for the Health system.
My advice....eat at home instead of burgers, chips etc. It's such unhealthy food to be consuming.
