Kate Gosselin is offering fans a candid look at her health journey following a recent medical procedure she described as one of the most painful experiences of her life.
The former “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star, 50, took to TikTok on Tuesday, September 30, to reveal that she recently underwent surgery and is currently recovering.
While she did not share specifics about the procedure itself, Gosselin explained just how challenging the process has been.
“I had surgery this morning and have five pain meds on board (top 3 most painful surgery),” the reality TV star began.
“I am not in a position to go into the details now but only bc I can’t focus. I did well,” Gosselin added.
She added that when she is feeling better, she will give fans more details on what happened.
Alongside the message, she shared an image of herself post-surgery, while she is recovering.

Her honesty struck a chord with fans, who quickly filled the comments with supportive words and prayers.
“Prayers for a quick recovery Kate,” one user wrote.
“Get well soon Kate. You are strong and willing xo,” another added.
Many thanked her for being so open, noting that her vulnerability encourages others going through similar medical struggles.
“Sending love and strength your way. Thank you for being real about how hard this is,” one follower shared.
Prior to the update, Gosselin shared an image of herself on Monday, September 29, from a hospital bed with IVs in her arms, as she asked fans for prayers.
“Emergencies don’t care about schedules!” she began. “Please DON’T worry about me! Please pray instead! Don’t worry, story time to follow when I’m able! Love you guys! I’ll be back as soon as I can!”
Gosselin, who became a household name on TLC when the network documented her life raising twins and sextuplets, has stepped back from the spotlight in recent years.

Though she didn’t disclose a timeline for her recovery, Gosselin reassured her followers that she is committed to getting better day by day.
The update marks one of Gosselin’s most personal shares in recent months.
While she has kept a lower profile since her reality TV days, she continues to connect with her fan base by speaking honestly about the highs and lows she faces.
Most recently, she shared that she is dating again and has been in a relationship for roughly a year. The mystery man was later revealed to be Steve Neild, her longtime former bodyguard.
