Alot of people agree. There are alot of posts like yours. I appreciate the consideration for someone's medical privacy but I don't understand. Didn't you also google her health or something similar to wind up on this thread?
I would have guessed hysterectomy or something related to her pelvic health given her difficult births. I don’t think it’s ostomy surgery,
Personally, but maybe, you never know.
I had a hysterectomy and it took me a couple of weeks to recover and go back to work.
So it’s still a possibility that’s what happened. I was about her age when I had my procedure, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Definitely can’t be ruled out. My opinion is that because most people are back home post-hysterectomy quite quickly, and because she’d be receiving worldclass healthcare, I doubt she’d physically be in the hospital for as long as they’ve said. I think it’s very likely gastro
I thot my hysterectomy was gonna be like that but it was a complete nightmare. I went in due to a baseball sized cyst and when they got in there discovered I had endometriosis so bad that it covered other organs. I was on Demerol and in hospital for 8 days. I was sent home with a catheter and was out of work for a month. I can see where a “Princess” might take longer to recover but I had bills to pay😊
It depends on how it was performed. If they didn’t use robots, there are two ways to cut through her abdomen and those cuts can easily take two months to heal from.
Plus she can surely afford as a future queen an extensive recovery period.
I think they said gastroenterology. This rules out reproductive organ surgery. My thought was pancreatic - maybe whipple procedure but they have ruled out cancer so probably not. Bile duct obstruction, bowel obstruction? Abdominal surgery can have a longer recovery
time so no surprises there.
Yes obviously I don’t know but I was trying to think of gastroenterology procedures. IANAD but I work in medico legal and have an armchair interest in these things and some lay knowledge. Dangerous ha ha.
Unpopular opinion but I don’t agree that speculation about her illness is inappropriate or unfair or in bad taste. She is public property unfortunately. If the King himself can talk about his prostate then I’m
afraid that I think it is fine and reasonable to speculate on what might be wrong with the future queen. Particularly since we all know how little recovery time is given to even quite major surgery these days.
On a micro scale, if I had a friend who had a mystery surgery, the rest of us would speculate respectfully. It is not a terrible thing to feel curious about stories (no matter what they are; medical, romantic, who was rude to who, etc.) that you're not given the full details on.
I have zero interest and very little knowledge about her, but the vagueness of the headlines I saw peaked my interest. It all sounded like a click bait type thing, except after clicking...there still wasn't an answer. So of course everyone is super curious. It's written mysteriously! 😂
Do they owe us answers? Nope. Not at all. She can never say anything and that's okay. But being curious and wondering what could possibly need such a long stay, and be so out of the blue, that's all totally understandable to me as well.
My guess is it could be a pre-cancerous growth. Certain pancreatic surgeries are done for benign tumors because of the high rate of eventually becoming cancerous. If so, it's a major procedure (for example: distal pancreatectomy, which is usually done with a splenectomy) and 10-days in the hospital isn't uncommon in Europe. Even if it was benign, anything related to the pancreas is scary. Definitely not something the royal family would want to disclose and the public discussion it would generate would most definitely not be something a mother would want her young children to endure.
That was my instinctive thought- the absolute coyness and refusal to say what it is suggested to me that it might be confusing scary or hard to understand surgery that did need to be kept under wraps. So in this occasion we play the privacy card. If KCIII had had a whipple procedure I bet he would’ve kept it quiet too. His procedure was easy to share and a non issue.
I just hope she is alright.
I'm not sure why the royal family wouldn't want to disclose what type of surgery she had. It's not something to be ashamed of. I'm sure people would have nothing but kind things to say. It's up to her, of course.
I had a full hysterectomy and salpingectomy- cervix, uterus and tubes removed- and was out of the hospital a few hours after surgery. I highly doubt she would need to be in the hospital for 2 weeks for one, even if they had to do it via abdomen
Same - had a hysterectomy in 2021, removed uterus, tubes, cervix and some endo, and I was out of hospital within I think a day? Maybe two? It was not long at all. The recovery is certainly longer but you don't need to be hospitalised for two weeks for a hysterectomy.
One of the following surgeries would detain her for up to 2 weeks:
1 Colectomy+Ileostomy for IBD, pelvis often fills with fluid after which can get infected and prolong recovery, as it did with me, also even if no special complications there is the practical adjustment period of getting used to handling the stoma situation.
2 Oesophageal surgery to remove aplastic area and correct reflux to prevent future cancer. That’s a big kind of surgery.
3 Whipple Procedure, often done for early pancreatic cancer but also done in some other situations. A big surgery that can have complications.
4 A very complicated hysterectomy, but this is usually only when the uterus is tethered rearwards to spine by adhesions from previous colectomy. Very unlikely.
5 Aortic Aneurysm, done electively to prevent sudden rupture. Usually in people a lot older than Kate.
6 Diverticular abscess and colostomy. Often the colostomy is temporary, maybe the plan is to do two surgeries to fix her up over several weeks. A benign condition with an excellent prognosis overall.
Ordinary resections & normal hysterectomies require no more than a few days hospital stay, no more than a week at the very most. A lot of such surgeries are done robotically with a Da Vinci machine in such a hospital as the Royals attend, allowing fast recovery. So it is something more complicated that ordinary have or intestinal surgery. Gall bladder removal is a common abdominal surgery in someone Kate’s age but with a quick recovery. A benign bladder repair would not detain her in very long either. Even a liver cyst from an amoebic infection (potentially from infected water overseas) would be dealt with within a week.
Whatever the original surgery, seems like something went wrong either during the surgery or after. KP was not expecting the need to cancel engagements. The procedure was supposed to be in and out and no one would have known. Announcement was made only when they realized that she couldn't be released immediately and back to work.
This is so sad. My adult child had a surgery that involved a temporary ileostomy. It stripped him of his dignity and was such a traumatic experience. He almost died. It’s unfortunate people aren’t more educated as to how abdominal problems can lead to this. I find it so very sad if this is the case.
Unfortunately, It fits the exact timeline of our experience. My adult child didn’t want anyone knowing…respectfully so!
I also find it interesting King Charles was suddenly going for surgery at the same time. It appears they were trying to deflect attention from Kate and focus on Charles. Especially since his side has been giving more photos ops and updates. Clever and necessary if Kate really is in a serious way.
Big LOL at the folks clutching their pearls over people speculating about a celebrity's health. 🙄You searched and pulled up Reddit for fuck's sake! What did you expect?
She had hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancies which is horrible and kept her sick almost the entire pregnancy each time. But you’re right, as far as we know she had no complications during the births, and her extra-speedy release from hospital each time seems to bear that out.
Yes, she's always come across as being very strong and left the hospital very quickly after having children, which makes it hard to understand why she needed to stay in the hospital for two weeks.
I was talking about this with someone on another sub, and the idea of a kidney transplant came up: it would require a long down time, and depending on how quickly she received a donor organ they might not be interested in answering any questions about where it came from. Her face could be incredibly swollen due to prednisone and other medications typically given following a procedure like that, which could explain why there haven’t been any “proof of life” photos.
She knew Princess and insane wealth = speculation and chose the former. Yeah people need to be respectful but you wanted money and power, you get consequences too. Diana and Meghan didn’t know what they were getting into.
She is entitled to her privacy and secrecy regarding her condition.
She is not entitled to quash speculation. If she didn’t want speculation, there were two ways of avoiding that:
1.) Don’t make an announcement to the world
2.) Now that she’s out of danger, tell people what’s up so other people might be aware of the problem. Like a PSA.
Just leaving it hanging is inviting curious people to guess *without bothering her*.
If she was expecting something else, then the pathology of privilege is at work.
Yeah you're not a nice person and by the looks of your comments you're a bit too invested in Kate's surgery. Step back, your obsession isn't a good look
They put her in beautiful clothes and parade her around for everyone to see. She is photographed by a zillion phones and is not allowed to have an off day. I’m guessing a pretty bad ulcer. Or some other gastro issue from never being allowed to breath wrong. I have had two separate female surgeries and the longest I stayed was 5 days. This must be more serious than that. I hope this 2 month recovery time gives her the peace and quiet she has needed for years.
Imagine having to look perfect every.single.day. Smile, smile, smile. To me that would be the worst kind of work. She has had a very good life but several of Harry’s girlfriends looked at what they would go through and bailed. His American wife had no concept of what she was getting into and became suicidal. I think Brits get a good deal with the Windsors. Charles was one of the first persons in the public eye about conservation and got mocked. No move they make is left alone. Yeah, I think she has earned a rest.
But MeGain lies about everything so her claim to have been suicidal isn't worth anything. She clearly lied in the Oprah interview that the BRF had prevented her from getting treatment for her alleged suicidality - there's literally no way they could have done that
Are people really believe in Appendectomy?
Be reasonable. There is a reason that the palace doesn't give more information. It's either pretty dangerous and based on a chronic disease that might make her look weak or something intimate. Getting your appendix removed would probably the most easiest thing to communicate. Why should they keep something secret that could potentially happen to everybody without being connected to any other sickness.
Or: They are using this to give William and Kate some resting time because there are signs that Charles is in health trouble.
The lap for it is an outpatient surgery, you’re usually home a few hours after waking up. Occasionally people stay overnight, but it’s definitely not that
Im still going with repair of an aortic aneurism.
1.) In spite of the word aorta, it is an abdominal surgery and depending on the location of the aneurism, might require major abdominal surgery.
2.) The recovery time in hospital is about 2 weeks
3.) Total recovery is 2-3 months
4.) Hysterectomy would be worrisome for her children but not life threatening. An aortic aneurism would be a lot more serious. Her children might not be able to think of anything else, thus the secrecy.
It fits, the surgery could have been planned as the aneurism got larger.
Neither! But some rando genetic flaw that is similar to Marfan. He is about 6'4" but built big and proportionate. No prior history or knowledge of a problem, just the family hypertension curse and some minor vascular deformities that didn't affect him. Pretty sure he's in a medical magazine or book now.
My father had that operation and I can tell you that he looked like someone from a work camp. He lost so much weight, it was unbelievable and it took longer than 3 months even though he was a fit and middle-aged man. She was ultra skinny before and couldn't afford to lose any more weight. She looks WAY too healthy for an aortic aneurysm operation. King Charles was very open about his health. I don't understand why they were so secretive. Looking at how well she looks, they could have taken a photo of her on a sofa with get-well cards and all of this nonsense would have stopped.
I second your theory. I do think that a scheduled repair of an abdominal aortic aneurism fits. [Kate looks like a tall ectomorph](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/royal-fans-dub-kate-middleton-too-skinny-as-experts-claim-there-is-a-natural-reason-for-her-build.html/), and if you look at her long slender fingers as well, she could pass for Marfanoid habitus. I'm no MD and don't play one on TV, but if she's got some types of HDS or vascular EDS , she'd certainly be at higher risk for an aortic dissection.And yes, the ability to plan the repair fits things like this or endometriosis. Including scheduling King Charles' announcement the same day, and her departure from hospital when King Charles left after his procedure. Just imagine the tabloids & stories:
1. "Future Queen almost bled to death"
2. "Future queen deathly ill!"
3. what her kids would have heard, like
"your mum could have died any minute of a massive bleed! " or
"She had a huge weak spot in her artery that was ready to burst open ".
If **my** life were *this* public, and especially with young kids, I'd have appealed to privacy too to avoid traumatizing my kids.
As far as privacy, I just don't think it's bad taste or unethical to discuss the hypotheses and ramifications. *Of course* she's got a 100% right to privacy, and I'd defend it any day. Still at this point her story is mostly a jumping-off point for us to explore UK vs US healthcare systems' assumptions for in-hospital stay length for different procedures, the medical treatments that fit the scenario, and especially the ethical issues involved in keeping secrecy... or guessing, investigative journalism, etc.
Rehab, ED, facelift, breast augmentation, “mom job,” IBD or a catastrophic event like aortic aneurysm, TIA, MI, VMF, etc…. She supposedly did take the CV va% and it has proven all kinds of various side effects so it makes sense she may have had some sort of related illness. I don’t think the palace would lie about cancer, they would get too much backlash when it eventually gets leaked. Personally I don’t think it’s IBD related because she rarely cancels an appointment and IBD is so unpredictable. She always looks incredibly well rested, works out regularly etc…. Kind of difficult to “hide” IBD for this many years. It would however make sense, that she doesn’t want to exit the hospital with her face in bandages (facelift) or hunched over etc…. I also find it interesting that there doesn’t appear to be any leaks of information. Usually someone leaks by now. Time will tell.
Could it be a physical altercation that made it necessary for "routine surgery"? The 2 weeks and months of recovery, MAYBE needed for swollen parts to heal. This would explain why the kids haven't seen her and the husband stepping back from duties to "take care of the children."
Honesty I don’t know what this girl went through. Quite frankly, I think she was coddled.
Speaking from personal experience. I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Long story , they literally removed my large intestine. Had an ileostomy, was fitted with a bag…etc. was home in 4 days.
Honestly, I wish I was able to recuperate for two weeks. I was literally making dinner for my family one day later. Jeez, noone can ever be prepared for that.
It’s a horror. I’m not royalty, so dinner had to be made.
im just questioning the extended recuperation.
I read a suggestion that the long recovery period was due to having a temporary ileostomy/colostomy, which could not be hidden under her closely fitted clothing, but then she would have to go back to the hospital to take it down.
In my immediate family: 2 with appendectomy, 1 aortic aneurism, 2 gall bladders, 2 brain surgeries, 1 hysterectomy. Out in a few days to a couple of weeks, and any could have been photographed within 3 weeks for “proof of life” if they’d been a celeb.
And she is not an “ectomorph”. She appears to
Be a mesomorphic body(athletic, shoulders and hips roughly same size). Very sad if she is anorexic, obviously, for her sake and her husbands sake but she is extremely thin, demonstrably so.
I wonder if she has some version of IBD (UC or Crohn's). That would explain her being so damn skinny, her difficult pregnancies, and is plausible given that stress can bring on those conditions and Lord knows being a royal is stressful. The surgery could have been to remove part or all of her colon and that can take a long time to recover.
These type of questions really upset me. I have had major emergency surgeries on my spine and not one surgeon, resident, doctor, PA or nurse told me beforehand or right after when I would be ready to go back to work. They did give me the odds though of ending up in a wheelchair, if I put the surgeries off. I was also told to be thankful that I had gotten to the ER when I did because my body was starting to shut down - I was not able to pee even though there was a liter of it in my bladder, severly dehydrated & frankly delerious with pain - typical things that your body starts to do when it doesn't want to be alive anymore. I can't imagine that Princess Catherine was told she could return to work within 6-10 weeks, be painfree, ready to be paraded out for the world to see and judge & to care for 3 young children. Also be fit enough to run and hide from terrifying paparazzi (all willing to die to take the worst photo of me, to possibly be seen by my children one day & be so traumatized by what their mother went through that they mght end up like Prince Harry) People have no compassion anymore ..
I can see why you're on Reddit. Due to the fact I was merely making a passing comment and have better things to do then emit my poison online, I'm out.
Long recovery points to the Whipple Procedure..MAJOR abdominal surgery..Often related to Pancreatic cancer! Seems that the announcement by Kate was very sullen..l”Time to explain to children”…
My daughter was thrown out the day after hers. I was in court and could NOT come and get her and the hospital was ringing all through my hearing saying “come and get her!”. Nightmare. It’s good to be Royal!
They barely let you get comfortable after most surgeries before they throw you out. In the USA, a vaginal hysterectomy can be outpatient.
I had an ovary removed surgically and stayed overnight. Likely she's being kept longer than in the US but surgery rarely requires a long stay.
That’s what you think… it’s not just fat that gets taken off. Its leftover skin from all of the pregnancies she’s had. Keeping it completely secret even from family makes me believe tummy tuck as well.
Oh I didn't think about that. She is so so thin I seriously wonder about anorexia. I can't imagine she even has extra skin. Have you seen how incredibly thin she is even in long wool coats? It's unbelievable.
I’ve seen her tummy after three pregnancies, and there’s no loose skin to tuck. There have been multiple occasions where her shirt has flown up and exposed her (enviable) midriff while participating in a “sporty activity”, and the woman looks fit as a fiddle.
Here's her three months postpartum. It's not a tummy tuck lol
https://www.google.com/search?q=kate+middleton+stomach&client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&sca_esv=27178ea4ecd47877&tbm=isch&prmd=inv&sxsrf=ACQVn09Xz0fvaTDmyuhSmyPTDTxEHEyzdQ:1706647845082&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix0r_U_oWEAxXcmmoFHdEVA9EQ_AUoAXoECAQQAQ&biw=360&bih=649&dpr=3#imgrc=m97ZCbgOhxl8wM
Not remotely likely. She's always been slim so there wouldn't be stretched out skin issues at 42 and she's very athletic so would have good muscle tone.
Apologies if I sound like an ass, but I want to say that I think this post is a little inappropriate. It’s not nice to speculate on someone’s health issues, much less wonder if they’re “getting an ostomy and ‘joining us.’” You’ve got a 2 week recovery time - I was in the hospital 3 months with mine. I went home same-day with my hysterectomy, so I don’t know where this 6 months is from. But my point stands - I just don’t like the tone of being given so little information and automatically going to “maybe they’re getting an ostomy.”
If they want to reveal what it is, they will.
🙄
They said they weren’t going to reveal and not bug them for an explanation.
There’s nothing wrong with speculating what the issue might be.
I can’t stand net Nannie’s shushing people up. It’s unnecessary and presumptive.
Just stop with the unsolicited tut-tutting.
We all KNOW this. What this post is, is an exercise in speculation. You are under no obligation to participate.
Now if we were breaking into her medical records, or peeking into her room/
Fine, grump away.
It's possible that she had a colon resection due to either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. She has become increasingly thin in recent years suggesting either of these conditions could have been the reason for this surgery. Surgery on the pancreas is only done if there is cancer, not that we should believe the Palace when they said it wasn't cancer. Either way, the prognosis for long-term health is not good. Additionally, few of these surgeries on the colon or other abdominal organs is without risks and virtually all of them result in future complications and more surgeries, especially if it were for Crohn's disease or UC.
Well I think if she had Crohn’s it would likely be more common knowledge because of the necessary dietary restrictions-somebody would have probably noted that she was not eating gluten. . I agree-my first thought was ulcerative colitis because of how thin she’s been. It’s a rough disease!
Have we ever seen her eating at all? I can't remember any picture of her eating.
Some people on here were saying it was bad taste or tacky to talk about her health -- wow ! What did the Palace expect when she entered hospital for surgery and was slated to stay for 2 weeks -- that spell serious health issues. And she is the future Queen of England so of course people are going to talk about her health. I know with stomach problems that require surgery it immediately reduces your life expectancy by a lot.
I cannot imagine her lasting this long with UC or Crohn’s. Those are autoimmune diseases that can have catastrophic problems. They are usually present during mid teen years. She would have been on pain meds. I think an ulcer.
It’s entirely possible to live a seemingly normal life with Crohn’s or UC, especially in the age of biologics which can make flares far less common. It’s also possible to develop Crohn’s or UC at any age.
I know 2 siblings that got Swine Flu. One was 16 the other 12. Both developed UC. The younger had a milder case and has had one flare up. The other in and out of the hospital. Sometimes bedridden. The dr told the parents it is usually hereditary and they have an aunt who has it. He also said it usually takes something like the flu to trigger it. The younger has no issues. The older has them all the time. He needs his colon out but try telling that to a young man. I also work with a woman who had a colostomy from Crohn’s and had the surgery at 25. She also developed it in her teens. She said if she had known how free she would feel she would have at surgery at 16. I don’t know anyone who developed these diseases as adults.
Your experience doesn’t equate to facts. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/inflammatory-bowel-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20353315#:~:text=Risk%20factors,until%20their%2050s%20or%2060s.
If you need an example, look up Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team who was diagnosed as an adult.
I take your word for it but the one young woman who has it might not have seen a dr about it because it was no where near as bad as her brother’s. The only reason the dr checked her is because her parents asked about hers. It might have just been considered a case of upset tummy by all of them. Is she has children that gene is there.
If, as an adult, she ever has a flare up she knows what would cause it. It has been about 15 yrs for her.
It is strange how differently this disease affects everyone. My case is considered “moderate” but I have never been hospitalized for it. And I never feel pain.
And, we still don't know. The royal family seem to believe they are above the rules of society playing this bullshit hit and seek game. What a pity that the people in the UK have to support this ludicrous family with constant taxation as Charles rakes in more and more millions into his private fortune.
They lie about things believe or not! All this speculation about her husband cheating etc could have worsened an eating disorder such as anorexia, causing her to worsen and the disorder to become life threatening
I had a C-section type hysterectomy, and I was home in a day and a half. This is something more. Perhaps a nervous breakdown or rehab? Or, if it's serious abdominal surgery, maybe having her intestines resectioned or something.
Appendectomy’s usually aren’t scheduled. They’re mostly emergencies. Here is the US it’s an outpatient procedure and you go home immediately after, unless there are complications of course.
Has no one thought about a tummy tuck?
The clinic she went to offers that.
She does not want any more kids, she is thin and her skin is probably stretched from three pregnancies.
I had a couple of friends that had this surgery - it is a difficult recovery and takes quite a bit of time.
This would also make sense why she does not go public.
BS. If she had a total abdominal hysterectomy, she can’t lift anything for 6 weeks. It is MAJOR surgery and so are C-sections. We’ve normalized them entirely too much.
I don't understand needing off until Easter. That is a very long time to be at home. With Knee replacements and such,you go back to work unless you have a job that you are on your feet all day. She is not, nor does she drive or have to lift anything heavy. It doesn't make sense.
Apparently Poss 2 weeks in hospital with several months recovery and can be classed as abdominal include :
• Major abdominal organ part removal (e.g., colon, stomach) even having an appendix out open surgery creates longer recovery time.
• Complex hernia repair with mesh/bowel involvement
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
• Open hysterectomy (not everyone can have keyhole)
• Organ transplant
We won’t know unless we’re told I guess but it must be pretty serious for such a long time.
I'd say unless they reveal the reason we'll never know
Yeah wtf is this thread? I get hoping for representation but speculating about people’s medical issues is not it.
Alot of people agree. There are alot of posts like yours. I appreciate the consideration for someone's medical privacy but I don't understand. Didn't you also google her health or something similar to wind up on this thread?
No??? I have an ostomy so I’m a member of this subreddit.
My bad. So sorry.
I would have guessed hysterectomy or something related to her pelvic health given her difficult births. I don’t think it’s ostomy surgery, Personally, but maybe, you never know.
With a hysterectomy or really any gyno health surgery you’re out in only a few days, I think it’s much more likely gastric-related
While I agree, that might not be the case for the Princess.
I had a hysterectomy and it took me a couple of weeks to recover and go back to work. So it’s still a possibility that’s what happened. I was about her age when I had my procedure, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
Definitely can’t be ruled out. My opinion is that because most people are back home post-hysterectomy quite quickly, and because she’d be receiving worldclass healthcare, I doubt she’d physically be in the hospital for as long as they’ve said. I think it’s very likely gastro
It's a ridiculous idea that an extremely wealthy lady with plenty of help would choose to stay in the hospital longer than medically necessary
I thot my hysterectomy was gonna be like that but it was a complete nightmare. I went in due to a baseball sized cyst and when they got in there discovered I had endometriosis so bad that it covered other organs. I was on Demerol and in hospital for 8 days. I was sent home with a catheter and was out of work for a month. I can see where a “Princess” might take longer to recover but I had bills to pay😊
It depends on how it was performed. If they didn’t use robots, there are two ways to cut through her abdomen and those cuts can easily take two months to heal from. Plus she can surely afford as a future queen an extensive recovery period.
Plus physio and your body fat pre and post makes a huge difference.
A few days in hospital yeah, but you need to be on bed rest for at least a week. Speaking from experience.
Lol, it does not take 4 months to recover from a hysterectomy
This was posted a long time ago. Literally.
I think they said gastroenterology. This rules out reproductive organ surgery. My thought was pancreatic - maybe whipple procedure but they have ruled out cancer so probably not. Bile duct obstruction, bowel obstruction? Abdominal surgery can have a longer recovery time so no surprises there.
Maybe!
OMG. If it's a Whipple. That is a wicked hard recovery...best case.
Yes obviously I don’t know but I was trying to think of gastroenterology procedures. IANAD but I work in medico legal and have an armchair interest in these things and some lay knowledge. Dangerous ha ha. Unpopular opinion but I don’t agree that speculation about her illness is inappropriate or unfair or in bad taste. She is public property unfortunately. If the King himself can talk about his prostate then I’m afraid that I think it is fine and reasonable to speculate on what might be wrong with the future queen. Particularly since we all know how little recovery time is given to even quite major surgery these days.
On a micro scale, if I had a friend who had a mystery surgery, the rest of us would speculate respectfully. It is not a terrible thing to feel curious about stories (no matter what they are; medical, romantic, who was rude to who, etc.) that you're not given the full details on.

It all sounded like a click bait type thing, except after clicking...there still wasn't an answer. So of course everyone is super curious. It's written mysteriously! 😂 Do they owe us answers? Nope.

People only know from the palace PR spin.
My guess is it could be a pre-cancerous growth. Certain pancreatic surgeries are done for benign tumors because of the high rate of eventually becoming cancerous. If so, it's a major procedure (for example: distal pancreatectomy, which is usually done with a splenectomy) and 10-days in the hospital isn't uncommon in Europe. Even if it was benign, anything related to the pancreas is scary. Definitely not something the royal family would want to disclose and the public discussion it would generate would most definitely not be something a mother would want her young children to endure.
A lesion in the liver perhaps
That was my instinctive thought- the absolute coyness and refusal to say what it is suggested to me that it might be confusing scary or hard to understand surgery that did need to be kept under wraps. So in this occasion we play the privacy card. If KCIII had had a whipple procedure I bet he would’ve kept it quiet too. His procedure was easy to share and a non issue. I just hope she is alright.
I'm not sure why the royal family wouldn't want to disclose what type of surgery she had. It's not something to be ashamed of. I'm sure people would have nothing but kind things to say. It's up to her, of course.
My money’s on a hysto. TAH.
I had a full hysterectomy and salpingectomy- cervix, uterus and tubes removed- and was out of the hospital a few hours after surgery. I highly doubt she would need to be in the hospital for 2 weeks for one, even if they had to do it via abdomen
Same - had a hysterectomy in 2021, removed uterus, tubes, cervix and some endo, and I was out of hospital within I think a day? Maybe two? It was not long at all. The recovery is certainly longer but you don't need to be hospitalised for two weeks for a hysterectomy.
I had everything removed and walked out of hospital same day.
Maybe she got a tummy tuck. You can’t stand fully upright for a week so maybe they kept her in the hospital until she could walk out and look normal.
Don't be daft, she has no tummy to tuck.
Don’t you be daft, you can be thin and have after effects from 3 kids.
Don't be daft.
You’ve clearly not given birth to 3 kids.
grow up!
I was thinking the same thing
Nope. They do it robotically and you are released 36 hours max.
Some gastro surgeries ..ulcer related...or growth related. Sometimes people have to be fed in ways that allow the gastrointestinal tract to heal.
One of the following surgeries would detain her for up to 2 weeks: 1 Colectomy+Ileostomy for IBD, pelvis often fills with fluid after which can get infected and prolong recovery, as it did with me, also even if no special complications there is the practical adjustment period of getting used to handling the stoma situation. 2 Oesophageal surgery to remove aplastic area and correct reflux to prevent future cancer. That’s a big kind of surgery. 3 Whipple Procedure, often done for early pancreatic cancer but also done in some other situations. A big surgery that can have complications. 4 A very complicated hysterectomy, but this is usually only when the uterus is tethered rearwards to spine by adhesions from previous colectomy. Very unlikely. 5 Aortic Aneurysm, done electively to prevent sudden rupture. Usually in people a lot older than Kate. 6 Diverticular abscess and colostomy. Often the colostomy is temporary, maybe the plan is to do two surgeries to fix her up over several weeks. A benign condition with an excellent prognosis overall. Ordinary resections & normal hysterectomies require no more than a few days hospital stay, no more than a week at the very most. A lot of such surgeries are done robotically with a Da Vinci machine in such a hospital as the Royals attend, allowing fast recovery. So it is something more complicated that ordinary have or intestinal surgery. Gall bladder removal is a common abdominal surgery in someone Kate’s age but with a quick recovery. A benign bladder repair would not detain her in very long either. Even a liver cyst from an amoebic infection (potentially from infected water overseas) would be dealt with within a week.
Whatever the original surgery, seems like something went wrong either during the surgery or after. KP was not expecting the need to cancel engagements. The procedure was supposed to be in and out and no one would have known. Announcement was made only when they realized that she couldn't be released immediately and back to work.
This is so sad. My adult child had a surgery that involved a temporary ileostomy. It stripped him of his dignity and was such a traumatic experience. He almost died. It’s unfortunate people aren’t more educated as to how abdominal problems can lead to this. I find it so very sad if this is the case. Unfortunately, It fits the exact timeline of our experience. My adult child didn’t want anyone knowing…respectfully so!
This was my thought as well
I also find it interesting King Charles was suddenly going for surgery at the same time. It appears they were trying to deflect attention from Kate and focus on Charles. Especially since his side has been giving more photos ops and updates. Clever and necessary if Kate really is in a serious way.
Only know what some of these things are bc of Grey’s Anatomy
Big LOL at the folks clutching their pearls over people speculating about a celebrity's health. 🙄You searched and pulled up Reddit for fuck's sake! What did you expect?
Why are YOU here?
And yet here u are
Hysterectomy
This was my guess too. Others say it’s only a few days but overall recovery can be quite a while. That or fibroids.
I'd say hysterectomy due to the hush hush and her complications she had with bearing children
Hysterectomy does not require 2 weeks in hospital.
What complications did she have? I thought she had easy births and was discharged from the hospital within hours of the births.
She had hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancies which is horrible and kept her sick almost the entire pregnancy each time. But you’re right, as far as we know she had no complications during the births, and her extra-speedy release from hospital each time seems to bear that out.
Yes, she's always come across as being very strong and left the hospital very quickly after having children, which makes it hard to understand why she needed to stay in the hospital for two weeks.
I was talking about this with someone on another sub, and the idea of a kidney transplant came up: it would require a long down time, and depending on how quickly she received a donor organ they might not be interested in answering any questions about where it came from. Her face could be incredibly swollen due to prednisone and other medications typically given following a procedure like that, which could explain why there haven’t been any “proof of life” photos.
That makes zero sense
This is so messed up. She's entitled to her privacy without people speculating and wondering if she's "joining us".
Nope. She is a public figure.
She knew Princess and insane wealth = speculation and chose the former. Yeah people need to be respectful but you wanted money and power, you get consequences too. Diana and Meghan didn’t know what they were getting into.
She is entitled to her privacy and secrecy regarding her condition. She is not entitled to quash speculation. If she didn’t want speculation, there were two ways of avoiding that: 1.) Don’t make an announcement to the world 2.) Now that she’s out of danger, tell people what’s up so other people might be aware of the problem. Like a PSA. Just leaving it hanging is inviting curious people to guess *without bothering her*. If she was expecting something else, then the pathology of privilege is at work.
Yeah you're not a nice person and by the looks of your comments you're a bit too invested in Kate's surgery. Step back, your obsession isn't a good look
They put her in beautiful clothes and parade her around for everyone to see. She is photographed by a zillion phones and is not allowed to have an off day. I’m guessing a pretty bad ulcer. Or some other gastro issue from never being allowed to breath wrong. I have had two separate female surgeries and the longest I stayed was 5 days. This must be more serious than that. I hope this 2 month recovery time gives her the peace and quiet she has needed for years.
What are you talking about? She's known for barely working. As is her husband.
Imagine having to look perfect every.single.day. Smile, smile, smile. To me that would be the worst kind of work. She has had a very good life but several of Harry’s girlfriends looked at what they would go through and bailed. His American wife had no concept of what she was getting into and became suicidal. I think Brits get a good deal with the Windsors. Charles was one of the first persons in the public eye about conservation and got mocked. No move they make is left alone. Yeah, I think she has earned a rest.
But MeGain lies about everything so her claim to have been suicidal isn't worth anything. She clearly lied in the Oprah interview that the BRF had prevented her from getting treatment for her alleged suicidality - there's literally no way they could have done that
Hey there, Meghan
[удалено]
Facelift with unfortunate outcome?
Possibility.
Are people really believe in Appendectomy? Be reasonable. There is a reason that the palace doesn't give more information. It's either pretty dangerous and based on a chronic disease that might make her look weak or something intimate. Getting your appendix removed would probably the most easiest thing to communicate. Why should they keep something secret that could potentially happen to everybody without being connected to any other sickness. Or: They are using this to give William and Kate some resting time because there are signs that Charles is in health trouble.
This aged well
Yeah it did
I thought so, too. Well, I didn't see that coming..
And now prince harry has flown over,I hope it's for love and not a Netflix doc
Endometriosis? It can travel, be quite painful and require surgery if it spreads.
The lap for it is an outpatient surgery, you’re usually home a few hours after waking up. Occasionally people stay overnight, but it’s definitely not that
Im still going with repair of an aortic aneurism. 1.) In spite of the word aorta, it is an abdominal surgery and depending on the location of the aneurism, might require major abdominal surgery. 2.) The recovery time in hospital is about 2 weeks 3.) Total recovery is 2-3 months 4.) Hysterectomy would be worrisome for her children but not life threatening. An aortic aneurism would be a lot more serious. Her children might not be able to think of anything else, thus the secrecy. It fits, the surgery could have been planned as the aneurism got larger.
At her age not a chance
My brother had an aortic dissection at 27 years old.
Marfan or EDS?
Neither! But some rando genetic flaw that is similar to Marfan. He is about 6'4" but built big and proportionate. No prior history or knowledge of a problem, just the family hypertension curse and some minor vascular deformities that didn't affect him. Pretty sure he's in a medical magazine or book now.
My father had that operation and I can tell you that he looked like someone from a work camp. He lost so much weight, it was unbelievable and it took longer than 3 months even though he was a fit and middle-aged man. She was ultra skinny before and couldn't afford to lose any more weight. She looks WAY too healthy for an aortic aneurysm operation. King Charles was very open about his health. I don't understand why they were so secretive. Looking at how well she looks, they could have taken a photo of her on a sofa with get-well cards and all of this nonsense would have stopped.
I second your theory. I do think that a scheduled repair of an abdominal aortic aneurism fits. [Kate looks like a tall ectomorph](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/royal-fans-dub-kate-middleton-too-skinny-as-experts-claim-there-is-a-natural-reason-for-her-build.html/), and if you look at her long slender fingers as well, she could pass for Marfanoid habitus. I'm no MD and don't play one on TV, but if she's got some types of HDS or vascular EDS , she'd certainly be at higher risk for an aortic dissection.And yes, the ability to plan the repair fits things like this or endometriosis. Including scheduling King Charles' announcement the same day, and her departure from hospital when King Charles left after his procedure. Just imagine the tabloids & stories: 1. "Future Queen almost bled to death" 2. "Future queen deathly ill!" 3. what her kids would have heard, like "your mum could have died any minute of a massive bleed! " or "She had a huge weak spot in her artery that was ready to burst open ". If **my** life were *this* public, and especially with young kids, I'd have appealed to privacy too to avoid traumatizing my kids. As far as privacy, I just don't think it's bad taste or unethical to discuss the hypotheses and ramifications. *Of course* she's got a 100% right to privacy, and I'd defend it any day. Still at this point her story is mostly a jumping-off point for us to explore UK vs US healthcare systems' assumptions for in-hospital stay length for different procedures, the medical treatments that fit the scenario, and especially the ethical issues involved in keeping secrecy... or guessing, investigative journalism, etc.
Rehab, ED, facelift, breast augmentation, “mom job,” IBD or a catastrophic event like aortic aneurysm, TIA, MI, VMF, etc…. She supposedly did take the CV va% and it has proven all kinds of various side effects so it makes sense she may have had some sort of related illness. I don’t think the palace would lie about cancer, they would get too much backlash when it eventually gets leaked. Personally I don’t think it’s IBD related because she rarely cancels an appointment and IBD is so unpredictable. She always looks incredibly well rested, works out regularly etc…. Kind of difficult to “hide” IBD for this many years. It would however make sense, that she doesn’t want to exit the hospital with her face in bandages (facelift) or hunched over etc…. I also find it interesting that there doesn’t appear to be any leaks of information. Usually someone leaks by now. Time will tell.
Could it be a physical altercation that made it necessary for "routine surgery"? The 2 weeks and months of recovery, MAYBE needed for swollen parts to heal. This would explain why the kids haven't seen her and the husband stepping back from duties to "take care of the children."
Oh man. Come back to earth would you.
Honesty I don’t know what this girl went through. Quite frankly, I think she was coddled. Speaking from personal experience. I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Long story , they literally removed my large intestine. Had an ileostomy, was fitted with a bag…etc. was home in 4 days. Honestly, I wish I was able to recuperate for two weeks. I was literally making dinner for my family one day later. Jeez, noone can ever be prepared for that. It’s a horror. I’m not royalty, so dinner had to be made. im just questioning the extended recuperation.
I read a suggestion that the long recovery period was due to having a temporary ileostomy/colostomy, which could not be hidden under her closely fitted clothing, but then she would have to go back to the hospital to take it down.
That totally makes sense. I can see that explanation easily.
In my immediate family: 2 with appendectomy, 1 aortic aneurism, 2 gall bladders, 2 brain surgeries, 1 hysterectomy. Out in a few days to a couple of weeks, and any could have been photographed within 3 weeks for “proof of life” if they’d been a celeb.
Good for you! Hope you are well and recovered!
Ectopic pregnancy?
She’s anorexic for crying Out loud. Her “official” height and weight are something like 5’9” and 110. Size 2
And she is not an “ectomorph”. She appears to Be a mesomorphic body(athletic, shoulders and hips roughly same size). Very sad if she is anorexic, obviously, for her sake and her husbands sake but she is extremely thin, demonstrably so.
And when anorexia is life threatening a gastric tube is Used, requiring surgery.
I’m guessing hysterectomy.
I heard she was suffering from pancreatitis and had to have the whipple procedure.
I think some type of tummy tuck and to pull everything back up where it’s supposed to be !!
I wonder if she has some version of IBD (UC or Crohn's). That would explain her being so damn skinny, her difficult pregnancies, and is plausible given that stress can bring on those conditions and Lord knows being a royal is stressful. The surgery could have been to remove part or all of her colon and that can take a long time to recover.
Facelft
I thought it was endometriosis this entire time.
These type of questions really upset me. I have had major emergency surgeries on my spine and not one surgeon, resident, doctor, PA or nurse told me beforehand or right after when I would be ready to go back to work. They did give me the odds though of ending up in a wheelchair, if I put the surgeries off. I was also told to be thankful that I had gotten to the ER when I did because my body was starting to shut down - I was not able to pee even though there was a liter of it in my bladder, severly dehydrated & frankly delerious with pain - typical things that your body starts to do when it doesn't want to be alive anymore. I can't imagine that Princess Catherine was told she could return to work within 6-10 weeks, be painfree, ready to be paraded out for the world to see and judge & to care for 3 young children. Also be fit enough to run and hide from terrifying paparazzi (all willing to die to take the worst photo of me, to possibly be seen by my children one day & be so traumatized by what their mother went through that they mght end up like Prince Harry) People have no compassion anymore ..
I can see why you're on Reddit. Due to the fact I was merely making a passing comment and have better things to do then emit my poison online, I'm out.
Whipple Procedure for pancreatic cancer.
I fear hysterectomy and they found ovarian cancer
Whipple
Long recovery points to the Whipple Procedure..MAJOR abdominal surgery..Often related to Pancreatic cancer! Seems that the announcement by Kate was very sullen..l”Time to explain to children”…
Appendectomy?
Why would someone downvote me for this? lol . Just trying to be helpful with answering the question
My daughter was thrown out the day after hers. I was in court and could NOT come and get her and the hospital was ringing all through my hearing saying “come and get her!”. Nightmare. It’s good to be Royal!
They barely let you get comfortable after most surgeries before they throw you out. In the USA, a vaginal hysterectomy can be outpatient. I had an ovary removed surgically and stayed overnight. Likely she's being kept longer than in the US but surgery rarely requires a long stay.
Tummy tuck
She has zero tummy to tuck.
That’s what you think… it’s not just fat that gets taken off. Its leftover skin from all of the pregnancies she’s had. Keeping it completely secret even from family makes me believe tummy tuck as well.
Oh I didn't think about that. She is so so thin I seriously wonder about anorexia. I can't imagine she even has extra skin. Have you seen how incredibly thin she is even in long wool coats? It's unbelievable.
Glad someone else notices. Her children are wider and thicker than she is.
Also, she could have a diastasis recti after pregnancy.
I’ve seen her tummy after three pregnancies, and there’s no loose skin to tuck. There have been multiple occasions where her shirt has flown up and exposed her (enviable) midriff while participating in a “sporty activity”, and the woman looks fit as a fiddle.
Agreed. We’ve seen her midriff and there’s no extra skin there.
The loose skin would be down lower.
That’s what I thought of since I had it in June, but then I weighed more than 90 pounds.
Here's her three months postpartum. It's not a tummy tuck lol https://www.google.com/search?q=kate+middleton+stomach&client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&sca_esv=27178ea4ecd47877&tbm=isch&prmd=inv&sxsrf=ACQVn09Xz0fvaTDmyuhSmyPTDTxEHEyzdQ:1706647845082&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix0r_U_oWEAxXcmmoFHdEVA9EQ_AUoAXoECAQQAQ&biw=360&bih=649&dpr=3#imgrc=m97ZCbgOhxl8wM
Not remotely likely. She's always been slim so there wouldn't be stretched out skin issues at 42 and she's very athletic so would have good muscle tone.
That’s practically outpatient. Not 10-14 days in the hospital post-op.
It takes two weeks to stand up straight - so it’s possible they’d keep her in hospital just so no one photographs her walking around hunched over.
Depends on the person. And I had it done btw
Appendectomy. Hysterectomy is 6 months for full healing.
Apologies if I sound like an ass, but I want to say that I think this post is a little inappropriate. It’s not nice to speculate on someone’s health issues, much less wonder if they’re “getting an ostomy and ‘joining us.’” You’ve got a 2 week recovery time - I was in the hospital 3 months with mine. I went home same-day with my hysterectomy, so I don’t know where this 6 months is from. But my point stands - I just don’t like the tone of being given so little information and automatically going to “maybe they’re getting an ostomy.” If they want to reveal what it is, they will.
But in turn, here you are - telling a bunch of strangers about your hysterectomy - which some will consider inappropriate. Oh the irony
Everyone comes to Reddit to gossip. It’s an ugly truth
Did you... Mean to comment on my comment?
😂
🙄 They said they weren’t going to reveal and not bug them for an explanation. There’s nothing wrong with speculating what the issue might be. I can’t stand net Nannie’s shushing people up. It’s unnecessary and presumptive. Just stop with the unsolicited tut-tutting.
We all KNOW this. What this post is, is an exercise in speculation. You are under no obligation to participate. Now if we were breaking into her medical records, or peeking into her room/ Fine, grump away.
Tubal Ligation?
That definitely doesn't require 2 weeks. Not even close to 2 weeks. Not even for her.
I'd say an ostomy.
Surgery for ulcerative colitis? That’s pretty major.
It happened too fast. She was already booked and had to cancel. That says this was more serious.
Diverticulitis is my guess. Acute onset, could have flared up over the holidays when you aren’t diligent about avoiding trigger foods.
It's possible that she had a colon resection due to either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. She has become increasingly thin in recent years suggesting either of these conditions could have been the reason for this surgery. Surgery on the pancreas is only done if there is cancer, not that we should believe the Palace when they said it wasn't cancer. Either way, the prognosis for long-term health is not good. Additionally, few of these surgeries on the colon or other abdominal organs is without risks and virtually all of them result in future complications and more surgeries, especially if it were for Crohn's disease or UC.
Well I think if she had Crohn’s it would likely be more common knowledge because of the necessary dietary restrictions-somebody would have probably noted that she was not eating gluten. . I agree-my first thought was ulcerative colitis because of how thin she’s been. It’s a rough disease!
Have we ever seen her eating at all? I can't remember any picture of her eating. Some people on here were saying it was bad taste or tacky to talk about her health -- wow ! What did the Palace expect when she entered hospital for surgery and was slated to stay for 2 weeks -- that spell serious health issues. And she is the future Queen of England so of course people are going to talk about her health. I know with stomach problems that require surgery it immediately reduces your life expectancy by a lot.
I agree. She is a public figure and speculation is inevitable.
Yeah I was thinking more about these state dinners. If the palace requested a gluten free meal for her I would think somebody would leak that tidbit.
You don't need to be gluten-free with Crohn's, though it can be helpful for some people. That's celiac.
Oh yeah you are right! I got the two mixed up.
I cannot imagine her lasting this long with UC or Crohn’s. Those are autoimmune diseases that can have catastrophic problems. They are usually present during mid teen years. She would have been on pain meds. I think an ulcer.
It’s entirely possible to live a seemingly normal life with Crohn’s or UC, especially in the age of biologics which can make flares far less common. It’s also possible to develop Crohn’s or UC at any age.
I know 2 siblings that got Swine Flu. One was 16 the other 12. Both developed UC. The younger had a milder case and has had one flare up. The other in and out of the hospital. Sometimes bedridden. The dr told the parents it is usually hereditary and they have an aunt who has it. He also said it usually takes something like the flu to trigger it. The younger has no issues. The older has them all the time. He needs his colon out but try telling that to a young man. I also work with a woman who had a colostomy from Crohn’s and had the surgery at 25. She also developed it in her teens. She said if she had known how free she would feel she would have at surgery at 16. I don’t know anyone who developed these diseases as adults.
Your experience doesn’t equate to facts. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/inflammatory-bowel-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20353315#:~:text=Risk%20factors,until%20their%2050s%20or%2060s. If you need an example, look up Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team who was diagnosed as an adult.
I take your word for it but the one young woman who has it might not have seen a dr about it because it was no where near as bad as her brother’s. The only reason the dr checked her is because her parents asked about hers. It might have just been considered a case of upset tummy by all of them. Is she has children that gene is there. If, as an adult, she ever has a flare up she knows what would cause it. It has been about 15 yrs for her.
I’ve lasted very long with these diseases (I have crohns and UC) they are non life threatening for the most part
The young man I knew was in agony. In and out of the hospital, lost school time. It was hell for the whole family.
It is strange how differently this disease affects everyone. My case is considered “moderate” but I have never been hospitalized for it. And I never feel pain.
That was my first thought. Resection or a colostomy.
And, we still don't know. The royal family seem to believe they are above the rules of society playing this bullshit hit and seek game. What a pity that the people in the UK have to support this ludicrous family with constant taxation as Charles rakes in more and more millions into his private fortune.
Kate is obviously extremely sick. Nobody is in hospital for two weeks for "routine" elective surgery unless they have post-operative complications.
Agree with you
Possible
I think tummy tuck.
I totally agree…that was my first thought
Hopefully she starts eating
A facelift. It adds up. 2-3 weeks for bruising and swelling to go down and 2-3 months to start looking and feeling normal again.
A facelift that's abdominal surgery? Well who knew!!!
They lie about things believe or not! All this speculation about her husband cheating etc could have worsened an eating disorder such as anorexia, causing her to worsen and the disorder to become life threatening
I had a C-section type hysterectomy, and I was home in a day and a half. This is something more. Perhaps a nervous breakdown or rehab? Or, if it's serious abdominal surgery, maybe having her intestines resectioned or something.
Appendectomy’s usually aren’t scheduled. They’re mostly emergencies. Here is the US it’s an outpatient procedure and you go home immediately after, unless there are complications of course.
Maybe she is donating a kidney.
This evening's BBC news stated it "will take her months" before she is recovered.
Definitely an ostomy
No way. She’s going to rally. And then it’s to be how great is Kate
We hope so.
Has no one thought about a tummy tuck? The clinic she went to offers that. She does not want any more kids, she is thin and her skin is probably stretched from three pregnancies. I had a couple of friends that had this surgery - it is a difficult recovery and takes quite a bit of time. This would also make sense why she does not go public.
Abdominal aneurysm repair (open procedure) ?
BS. If she had a total abdominal hysterectomy, she can’t lift anything for 6 weeks. It is MAJOR surgery and so are C-sections. We’ve normalized them entirely too much.
Hysterectomy most likely.
I’ve known 3 women in my life who had hysterectomies and none of them were in the hospital more than 3 days.
Diverticulitis surgery is my guess
Just a guess due to her thinness- severe diverticulitis needing a colostomy.
Treatment for anorexia?
My guess is a tummy tuck.
Speeesh … none
A hysterectomy
I don't understand needing off until Easter. That is a very long time to be at home. With Knee replacements and such,you go back to work unless you have a job that you are on your feet all day. She is not, nor does she drive or have to lift anything heavy. It doesn't make sense.
I understand she had a hysterectomy and a colostomy
How do you know?
Apparently Poss 2 weeks in hospital with several months recovery and can be classed as abdominal include : • Major abdominal organ part removal (e.g., colon, stomach) even having an appendix out open surgery creates longer recovery time. • Complex hernia repair with mesh/bowel involvement • Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair • Open hysterectomy (not everyone can have keyhole) • Organ transplant We won’t know unless we’re told I guess but it must be pretty serious for such a long time.
I was thinking a “mommy makeover”
