Drag Race icon Katya Zamolodchikova details health scare after emergency surgery
"Hi friends, I'm back out of the hospital. I had to do an emergency abdominal surgery. "There was a bowel obstruction in my small intestine. They had to decompress my stomach, flush out of intestines and remove and reattach a small part of my small and large intestine.""
"I was in the hospital with an NG (nasogastric) tube down my nose into my stomach pumping fluid up and out of my body for 10 days without being able to eat or drink. It was absolute hell on earth. "But the tube is gone, I am eating and drinking and am back at home.""
"Thanks to the surgical team at Cedars Sinai especially Dr Matthew Bloom and Dr Sydney Caputo and shoutout to Nurse Audrey for being a baller. Hallelujah. She finished the post with praying and rainbow emojis, as well as the hashtag "pump it up"."
"Fans were quick to show their support, with one writing: "So glad to hear you're out of the hospital and recovering." Another said: "Here's to a speedy recovery." Katya shared the same post on Instagram. Michelle Visage commented: "Get well soon honey.""
