Katya Zamolodchikova Home After Emergency Abdominal Surgery

The Drag Race star reports steady recovery with gratitude for her Cedars-Sinai team.

Overview

  • Katya disclosed in a Sunday Instagram update that surgeons treated a bowel obstruction with emergency abdominal surgery that removed and reattached parts of her small and large intestine.
  • She said she spent about 10 days in the hospital with a nasogastric tube, which drains the stomach when patients cannot eat or drink.
  • The tube has been removed and she says she is eating, drinking, and recovering at home.
  • She thanked clinicians at Cedars-Sinai by name, singling out Dr. Matthew Bloom, Dr. Sydney Caputo, and a nurse called Audrey.
  • Her May 9 live date with Trixie Mattel at Netflix Is a Joke was canceled with plans to reschedule, as fellow Drag Race figures and fans posted well-wishes.
