Katie Price Hospitalized Over Unexplained Weight Loss

Katie Price has given her fans an alarming health update, sharing that she was taken to the hospital over the weekend due to worries about her ongoing and unexplained weight loss.

The media figure admitted she’s undergoing a series of medical tests to figure out the cause, lamenting that she doesn’t understand why she keeps losing weight.

Katie’s Personal Health Update on Social Media

In a video she posted on her Snapchat story, Katie opened up about her hospital experience. Overlaying the video, she wrote, “Gone to the doctors about my weight,” and explained to her followers that doctors took her blood for testing.

She mentioned that the blood draw was quite difficult, saying, “because my veins are so s***, they had three attempts” and ended up filling only two tubes. This means she’ll need to go back in two weeks for more tests. At that follow-up visit, she’s also supposed to have stitches taken out from a recent hand injury.

A Recent Visit to Accident and Emergency

This hospital trip for blood work came after another medical incident just days before. On Saturday, Price shared a photo of an A&E sign, captioning it, “Not what I had on my Bingo card for Friday night.”

This visit to the emergency room was due to a self-inflicted stab wound she got while cooking. She previously mentioned that the knife injury was quite serious, damaging ligaments and nerves, which has left part of her hand numb.

Contrasting Explanations for the Weight Loss

Price’s noticeable weight loss has been a hot topic lately. Earlier this year, in May, she reassured fans that the weight drop was intentional. She explained that after spending ten months in a wheelchair due to serious foot injuries and going through IVF treatments, she had gained weight, which she “hated” and found “uncomfortable.”

So, she actively worked to shed some pounds. However, her latest posts tell a different story, as she now expresses that she “doesn’t know why” the weight loss is still happening.

A Long Struggle with Body Image

Katie has been candid about her tricky relationship with her body image. During a guest spot on the Louis Theroux podcast last year, she reflected on her feelings about how she sees herself.

While she insisted, “I always said I haven’t got body dysmorphia,” she also acknowledged, “there’s definitely something, I don’t know what it is. I’ve never looked in the mirror and thought I’m pretty.” This background sheds light on her current health issues and the worries voiced by those around her.
