She wrote, “Hi! I’m in Singapore for my post op check up. Had a CT urogram yesterday and this morning after breakfast, I saw Dr Bang and she took out the stent in my left ureter and bladder. It was starting to get uncomfortable and I’m enjoying walking again after it was taken out! Before anyone gets worried, I’m still taking it easy. It’s only been 6 weeks after I had surgery. I need to come back in 3 months so I can be monitored.

"I enclosed pictures of us during breakfast and the best croissant I’ve ever had at Cedric Grolet. Also my fav spicy crabs for lunch at Jumbo Seafood. Oh, I might be oversharing but in case you’re wondering, this is what a J stent looks like (Last Pic) Thanks for accompanying us to Singapore, @anakarylle and @yaelyraz Love you guys. Thanks for always taking good care of me, @conrad_onglao”

“I was born with a mega ureter. My left ureter was the size of a sausage when it should be a thin tubular structure with a 3 to 4 mm diameter. My right one is normal. I like how my new doctor describe it as- 'you have a structural problem' instead of my usual, 'I was born with a defective left ureter'. It has bothered me for as long as I can remember."

The singer also recalled something from her childhood. "I was often scolded as a child 'kasi pinipigilan mo wiwi mo' and I thought while sitting on 'maligamgam' water in a small planggana that it was partly true since I’d rather be playing in the streets and holding my pee than going to the bathroom! For many years, I’ve had endless battles with UTI (urinary track infection) and taking oral antibiotics became routine. They had no proper machine in the Philippines while I was growing up and doctors only saw my real problem in 2007!

"So, my first surgery to correct this problem was 17 years ago. Right after filming Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah in 2007, I underwent open surgery to finally correct my left ureter. It was tapered and reinserted in my bladder. Last year, the infection I was having was harder to cure. I became resistant to most antibiotics and tests showed that I was already having a (pee) reflux and the function of my left kidney was so much lower than my usual. I went to the US in January but was advised not to have surgery. I was disappointed because I didn’t know what to do about my problem. Six months after, the infections started again and took 3 weeks for the low dose of antibiotics to kick in. Of course I was already resistant to most antibiotics and I felt that it was only a 'band aid' to my bigger problem. And honestly, you’ve noticed the weight gain, right?

"My body is a map of all the surgical battles it’s been through. This is my third surgery with regard to the left side of my kidney. In 2012, after Dolphy died, I had a growth taken out so a partial nephrectomy was performed on my left kidney. By the grace of God, I pray that it continues to function so that I may be healthier.”

“I can’t wait to be doing my normal routine like playing badminton with Conrad in the mornings. I will miss our ASAP cycle for September and can’t wait to rejoin them in October or November and for my anniversary concert to finally push through. We’ve moved it to November 29. So guys, I wish you could be there to celebrate my 40th!!! So, I’ll be taking it easy for this month and the next then I’ll see you when I promote my new album. We have exciting new songs we can’t wait for you to hear! I love you all and wish to thank those who’ve said prayers for my surgery. And to those reading this, kindly say a prayer that everything will be alright and that I will have a quick recovery. Thanks for your time in reading this. Thank you, Jesus. You continue to give me many chances in life. And I praise you for being merciful. 🙏🏼Thank you for my family who surround me with healing love. 💕 Love and light to everyone 💕”
