Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has expressed her gratitude for life and good health after undergoing emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder. The veteran actress took to Instagram to share her health journey, detailing the symptoms that led to the surgery and her recovery process.
Omotola, who had been experiencing severe back and chest pains, had visited the emergency room multiple times before doctors discovered that her gallbladder was severely dilated. She revealed that the illness was so severe that doctors had initially told her there was little they could do at the time. Despite the painful symptoms, Omotola continued to push through her work commitments, including attending a movie viewing for the Academy Awards.
After an especially intense episode of vomiting and stomach pain, Omotola was rushed to the hospital for a third time, where scans revealed the need for immediate surgery. “I was wheeled straight for a CT scan, ultrasound, and MRI, and the doctor said I needed surgery immediately to remove my gallbladder,” Omotola recounted in her post.
The surgery was a success, and the actress expressed her deep gratitude, sharing a video documenting the experience, including clips of her hospital stay and a video call with her husband. In her post, she thanked God for the recovery and the support of her fans, saying, “Happy Thanksgiving! Please join me as I thank God for life and good health.”
Omotola’s fans and colleagues have flooded her social media with well-wishes as she continues her recovery. The mother of four has now turned her focus to healing, reflecting on her difficult health scare and the relief that followed the successful surgery.
