In the September season finale of Bringing Up Bates, Kelly Bates shared her struggles with gastroesophageal reflux. She has since had a procedure to help correct the issue and reveals that she is feeling so much better. You will no doubt hear more about it on the next season of the show, but in the meantime, we wanted to post this photo of the mom of 19 looking absolutely amazing!
Kelly shares an update on her health. She has struggled with gastroesophageal reflux for years and has already had her gallbladder removed. The frequency of her reflux, especially after having 19 children, has created pre-cancer cells in her throat. She needs another scope, but she must first get over the coughing caused by a recent episode. “She’s just too young and beautiful to be suffering like this,” says Gil, who is eager to find a solution for his wife.
