The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsalumAnnemarie Wileyis sharing an update on her health.
On Sunday, Sept. 22, Wiley, 40, revealed in anInstagramclip that she’s set to undergo surgery after doctors discovered “a tumor” on her “gallbladder and gallstones.”
While seemingly walking on a treadmill, the reality star told the camera, “The gallbladder will be coming out very soon.”
“The surgeons were very concerned about there being tumors on my liver, so we had an MRI last week and the MRI did not show any visible tumors or anything anywhere else,” she added.
“So that was incredible news. Surgery is scheduled for very soon. Gallbladder will come out, they’ll send it to pathology and slice it up, look at it under the microscope and then that’s when we’ll know if it is cancerous, malignant or non-cancerous benign. I’m super optimistic, the surgeons are super optimistic,” Wiley continued.
“I can’t even begin to express how much your love and support mean to me 💖 I’m feeling strong and optimistic that this journey will soon be behind me with a positive outcome🙏🏽 If sharing my experience encourages even one person to listen to their body and advocate for themselves, that brings me so much joy,” she wrote.

Wiley — who shares four kids with former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley — continued, “Guys- please prioritize your mental health and minimize stress - stress can do awful things to our bodies! Focus on what nourishes you: exercise, meditate, stay off social media when needed, and remove toxic situations and people from your life. Your health is your most valuable asset, so protect it fiercely 🤎.”
“I’ll keep you all updated. Thank you all for checking on me and lifting me up 🙏🏽💖,” the media personality concluded.
On Aug. 19, Wiley revealed onInstagramthat she’d “received some alarming news,” without going into too much detail at the time.
“I’m still processing everything, but I believe in the power of being open and transparent—especially when it comes to our health,” her caption included.
