Matt Roloff is giving his followers insight on his recent health scare.
On Monday, the Little People, Big World star posted a photo on Instagram of himself laying in a hospital bed. Although he was smiling in the snap, the 61-year-old revealed that problems during a routine procedure is leaving him with a longer recovery than expected.
Last week was a bit rough,” the reality star captioned the post. “Went in for what I thought was a routine upper endoscopy to check out my esophagus. When things don’t go as planned and the Doc tells [fiancée Caryn Chandler] ‘We had some complications.’ Turns out I have some unexpected twists and turns leading down to the stomach.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, an upper endoscopy is a procedure used to visually examine your upper digestive system using a tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible tube. It’s typically done to diagnose and sometimes treat conditions that affect the upper part of the digestive system.
Roloff explained that the complication will now require him to receive additional medical attention, however, he didn’t elaborate on what that involves.
