Bachelor Nation's Rachel Recchia Details Health Battle While Addressing Plastic Surgery Rumors
View Date:2024-12-23 22:09:25
Rachel Recchia is addressing a thorn in her side.
The Bachelorette alum clapped back at online chatter about her recent weight loss, shutting down rumors that she had "work done" on her face and sought plastic surgery to slim down.
Instead, Rachel noted that the change of appearance was the result of a lengthy health battle.
"I have been extremely sick since May," she wrote on Instagram Stories Aug. 18. "I was in the hospital for a bad kidney infection that spread into my back muscles."
According to the 28-year-old, she had been on antibiotics through a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for over a month, making her feel "so tired and nauseous, which led to the weight loss everyone has been commenting on."
"I am aware I look 'sick' because I was sick," Rachel added. "Please be mindful."
Indeed, Rachel was pictured with a PICC line on her right arm in some of her recent Instagram photos. On July 7, the Bachelor Nation star posted a photo of herself in a purple bikini with her bicep bandaged up, writing in the caption, "How I look while going through it."
But now, Rachel's health battle is coming to an end. As she noted on a separate Instagram Story over the weekend, she just had her PICC line removed.
"I’ve been sick since before the beginning of the summer," she wrote, per Us Weekly, "and it’s such a relief to be off medication!!!"
In fact, Rachel said she's meeting with a doctor to resume her plans to get a revision on her 2023 breast reduction surgery, which she had to postpone this summer due to her kidney infection.
"I’m so excited," she wrote to her followers, "and will keep you all updated!!!"
