‘Real Housewives’ Star Teresa Giudice Hospitalized For Emergency Procedure

Gia Giudice, the 21-year-old daughter of ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey‘ star Teresa Giudice, is asking fans of the show for prayers after her mom had to be hospitalized this week.

On Thursday, Gia shared the news with her followers on Instagram, posting a story featuring a photo of her mom laying in a hospital bed.

“Such a trooper, I love you. Pray for a speedy recovery. I love you @teresagiudice,” she wrote alongside the photo.

It’s not exactly clear what happened. The only thing her camp is saying is that it was for a non-cosmetic emergency surgery…

Teresa was admitted to the hospital last night and had a non-cosmetic emergency procedure this morning. She is recuperating and is looking forward to a speedy recovery. She thanks everyone for their prayers and well wishes.

One of the more common emergency procedures is an appendectomy, which is a fairly simple surgery to remove the appendix when it becomes inflamed/infected.

So that would be my guess, however, you would think they would just say that if it was something so benign. Perhaps, this emergency procedure was for something more personal.

In any event, her rep states she’s expected to be released within the next 24 hours, so whatever it was, it doesn’t seem to be that serious.

Teresa’s hospitalization comes a few days after the most recent episode of RHONJ, in which she continued to fiercely defend her fiance Louie Ruelas amid growing concerns from her castmates about his alleged past. (Ruelas has denied all allegations.)
