The "I Feel Pretty" star shared a video filmed by her husband, Chris Fischer, on Saturday that showed her recovering in a hospital bed while detailing her surgery.
"So, it’s the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out," she told the camera. "The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed. He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.
