Tamara Heribanová Undergoes Gallbladder Surgery

Slovak writer and journalist Tamara Heribanová is recovering from a scheduled gallbladder surgery, she announced to her fans via social media. The surgery, which she described as “more of a matter of time” due to family history, will require a few weeks of recovery.

Surgery and Recovery

Addressing her followers, Heribanová shared that she will be taking a break from public appearances while she recovers. “Guys, if you see me in my pajamas for the next few days, it will be for a reason.

I’m glad I dealt with it now and not in a worse mood later,” she posted alongside a photo from the hospital.
