According to Gwendlyn Brown, it was a “serious problem” that strange women were craving her dad, Kody.
In a related YouTube video, Brown shared her full experience having the surgery and explained why she decided to have it done: to improve her confidence and support the health of her spine.
She claimed that it took her about a year from the time she made the decision to actually have the procedure done. She was required to obtain letters of recommendation from both her plastic surgeon, who also said the procedure was “medically necessary,” and her chiropractor, who stated that she needed the procedure done to prevent spine and posture deterioration. ”.
Brown claimed that her mother drove her to the approximately five-hour surgery. Before wheeling her into the operating room, where they strapped her arms down and put the anesthesia mask on her face, her plastic surgeon “traced some lines” on her body where they would make the incisions.
Gwendlyn Brown, star of “Sister Wives,” has announced that she will change her last name after getting married.
I’m going to die here, I was telling myself, she recalled. “I was in a panic, my heart was pounding, and then I passed out. ”.
She claimed that after the procedure, she awoke in a wheelchair, and that her mother pushed her back to the car. She needed to wear a compression bra to aid in post-surgery healing and took prescription painkillers over the course of the following few days. She also used a breathing machine to “help my body get back to normal.”. ”.
Recalling the challenging healing process, she said, “I had this terrible pain in my scars or my open wounds at the time, and there was nothing I could do about it. It gave off the impression of being constantly pressed down bruises.
a terrible, terrible feeling.

She admitted that she still has scars from the procedure, but she is “very happy” with the outcome.
It’s one of the wisest choices I’ve ever made. She continued, “I don’t regret it. It feels wonderful to no longer be frequently teased or sexualized. ”.
