Tamra Judge, beloved star of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” recently found herself in the hospital due to severe stomach pain. She took to social media to share the news, posting a selfie from her hospital bed with a tube up her nose. The diagnosis: intestinal obstruction. This condition can be caused by various factors such as adhesions, hernias, scar tissue, tumors, or even Chron’s disease. Despite the challenges she faces, Judge remains hopeful that surgery will not be necessary as she undergoes further testing.

This isn’t the first time Judge has dealt with intestinal issues. Back in 2012, she underwent emergency surgery to remove a strangulated hernia that was affecting a portion of her intestines.
Unfortunately, this procedure left her with a damaged belly button. Recently, Judge made the decision to address this issue with a corrective abdominoplasty. She has always been open about her health struggles and the numerous surgeries she has had over the years.
While in the hospital, Judge expressed her disappointment at having to miss recording her hit podcast, Two Ts In A Pod, with her fellow Housewives alum, Teddi Mellencamp. Despite the setback, she remains optimistic and determined to recover quickly.

Judge also emphasized the importance of the condition, revealing that her grandmother had passed away from intestinal problems. It’s clear that this experience has made her even more aware of the significance of taking care of our bodies and seeking medical assistance when needed.
Throughout this challenging time, Judge has been surrounded by an outpouring of love and support from her family and friends. Her husband, Eddie Judge, has been by her side, providing foot massages and comfort. She has also received well wishes from her fellow celebrities, including Mellencamp and her RHOC co-star Taylor Armstrong.
Judge’s health scare serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of regular medical check-ups and listening to our bodies. Intestinal problems should never be underestimated and should always be taken seriously. As Judge herself stated, “I’ve never been on Ozempic and personally wouldn’t use it for weight loss!” Seeking medical advice and treatment from professionals is crucial.
We are sending our heartfelt well wishes to Tamra Judge for a full and speedy recovery. Stay strong, Tamra!
