Vanessa Matsunaga hospitalized due to emergency appendix removal surgery

Vanessa Matsunaga revealed that was hospitalized over the weekend after she underwent emergency appendix removal surgery.

On Instagram, the model shared a photo of herself on the hospital bed.

"I had an emergency surgery to have my appendix removed. Praise God that it didn’t happen while we were locked down at the beach and that it happened when we were just settling back at home," she said.

Vanessa clarified that she was not hospitalized due to COVID-19.

However, she added, "being in the hospital during this time is not easy for both patients and front-liners. I experienced it first hand."

She assured that she has already left the hospital, but the difficult part is that she won't be reunited with her two kids for a while.

Vanessa is married to photographer-businessman Jun Sunga. They have two children together. Recently, Vanessa talked about her struggles with mom guilt in a lengthy Instagram post.
