In a heartfelt social media post on November 28, 2024, Omotola opened up about her harrowing experience, which began weeks ago with recurring back and chest pain. Despite seeking medical attention twice, her condition worsened when she developed severe stomach pain, prompting a third rushed visit to the hospital.
After undergoing a series of tests, including a CT scan, ultrasound, and MRI, doctors discovered her gallbladder was severely dilated and required emergency surgery. Omotola vividly recounted the terrifying moment: “Have you been told by a doctor, ‘There’s nothing more we can do’? And you still feel like you’re dying? I was rushed again to the emergency… the third time! This time, I was wheeled in straight for a CT scan, ultrasound, and MRI. Then the doctor came in and said you have to go in immediately for surgery! … to remove your gallbladder!!! It was so dilated, the doctors wondered how I was not in more pain. More pain??!!!”
Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and Omotola is now on the path to a full recovery. Reflecting on her experience, the actress encouraged her followers to take a moment to appreciate life and count their blessings, no matter their current circumstances.
Her inspiring story serves as a reminder of the importance of gratitude and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Fans and well-wishers have since flooded her page with messages of love and support as she continues to recover.
