UPDATE: Had a huge cyst they had to remove. Found endo in/on my uterus, ovaries, bladder, and surrounding areas. So Dr. Sinervo removed that along with a good bit of scar tissue. He also cut some nerves to help with pain. I stayed in the hospital overnight and then was able to go back to my hotel and now I’m heading home today! Can’t tell you guys how many times I’ve cried…Dr. Sinervo and Dr. Winer are truly gifts from God. Dr. Sinervo asked to pray with me before surgery and then they both held my hands in the OR until I was put to sleep. 😭 It’s time to give myself time to recover.. #endometriosis #endowarrior TIP #1… I have had severe gas pains due to the CO2 they filled me up with during surgery…GASX and peppermint tea have helped tremendously

“Found endo in/on my uterus, ovaries, bladder, and surrounding areas. So Dr. Sinervo removed that along with a good bit of scar tissue. He also cut some nerves to help with pain,” she described. Savannah went on to share that she “stayed in the hospital overnight” before heading back to her hotel and revealed that she was finally able to go home on August 20.

“Can’t tell you guys how many times I’ve cried,” she candidly shared. Savannah also thanked the doctors who ensured her safety and wellbeing throughout the extensive procedure with total gratitude, writing, “Dr. Sinervo and Dr. Winer are truly gifts from God. Dr. Sinervo asked to pray with me before surgery and then they both held my hands in the OR until I was put to sleep. It’s time to give myself time to recover.”

VULNERABLE MOMENT FOR MY LADIES: I haven’t talked about this much because honestly…I have struggled BIG TIME. I’m insanely self conscious and just feel like my body has given up on me. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis when I was 18 and it’s been quite the struggle. The pain at times is unbearable and the toll it takes on my emotional/psychological health is pretty rough at times. Tomorrow I have my 3rd surgery. I have found a specialist in Atlanta and he is ONE OF A KIND! I will actually be posting a VLOG on this weeks experience in the coming weeks. We’re about to get REALLLL vulnerable ladies…. do you struggle with Endometriosis? I wanna hear your stories ❤️ let’s help and inspire one another #endometriosis #endowarrior

At the end of her message, Savannah added the hashtag “endo warrior,” proving that she has been such a fighter since her diagnosis at the age of 18. The reality TV star was so transparent and honest about her health in her August 17 post to Instagram. Though Savannah looked like the stunning, engaged young woman that she is, the caption to her post outlined how difficult her struggle with endometriosis has been — a health condition in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of the organ.

Now that her recent surgery is behind her, Savannah can begin recovery before she gets back to planning her nuptials to 26-year-old hockey player Nic Kerdiles! Savannah clearly has shown so much strength since her diagnosis, and fans have loved seeing her courageously use her platform to discuss her health. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for this inspiring young woman!
