The Real Housewives of Orange County star, 48, was taken to the hospital, where she met with the on-call surgeon.

"My stomach wall had burst due to a gastric hernia," she explains. "Five hours of surgery, this is what I was left with. I have a scar and a screwed up belly button, but my intestines where saved."



I addressed this tonight on @bravowwhl I know this is gross but I keep getting asked the same question " what happened to your belly button". For the last time .... 3 years ago, I was home alone and experienced excruciating pain. I called @drdubrow immediately and he told me to call 911.
