Tori Roloff, known for her appearance on Little People, Big World, has departed from the TLC show but continues to keep her fans updated through her new podcast with her husband, Zach. In a recent episode, the TLC star opened up about disregarding a trainer’s suggestion to undergo surgery. Let’s dive into the details.
One of the reasons Zach Roloff and Tori Roloff halted filming for Little People, Big World was because their son, Jackson, aged 7, did not want his second leg surgery to be filmed. Fans may recall how unhappy he felt after his first surgery. Additionally, the couple faced other issues, including a fallout with Matt Roloff over their desired portion of the farm to work on.
Last month, Tori Roloff informed her Little People, Big World fans that her daughter, Lilah, required surgery. However, it was not related to her eyes or legs; it was to address sleep apnea. Lilah has since undergone the procedure, but her mother experienced stress leading up to it. Could this be why the TLC alum ignored a trainer’s advice for her to undergo surgery after giving birth to Josiah?
Zach Roloff and Tori Roloff now provide regular updates through their podcast, Raising Heights, allowing TLC fans to learn more about their lives and their small family. In an episode titled “Our Struggles with Body Image,” Zach complimented his wife, telling her she looks good. Later in the episode, Tori discussed the topic of surgery.
Tori explained how she felt disconnected from her body after giving birth to Jackson. The same feeling continued with the arrival of Lilah and Josiah. Pregnancy brings about physical changes for mothers, and it can be challenging to adjust to those changes. Tori mentioned that her pregnancies were showcased on national television, and she received hurtful comments about letting herself go. She also revealed that her abdominal muscles did not fully come back together after pregnancy, a condition called diastasis recti. Tori sought the advice of a trainer who suggested surgery as the only solution.
Fans of Little People, Big World are aware that the former TLC star managed to lose weight without undergoing the recommended surgery. During the podcast episode, Tori and Zach discussed her hesitation towards surgery. It was Zach who questioned whether she had truly made an effort to achieve her desired body without surgery. Realizing she hadn’t, Tori decided to focus on working out and reclaiming her body.
Tori Roloff’s journey toward body acceptance and fitness continues, and she has chosen not to pursue surgery as an immediate solution.
