Brazilian TV presenter Thiago Oliveira has gallbladder surgery
Brazilian TV presenter Thiago Oliveira had surgery to remove his gallbladder on Saturday night after presenting the live show É de Casa.
The operation took place at a hospital in São Paulo, after he travelled there from the show’s studios in Rio de Janeiro.
The procedure had been scheduled about a month earlier after medical examinations and advice from a doctor who has followed him for years.
The gallbladder stores bile, a liquid that helps the body digest fats.
Oliveira said the operation went well and that he was doing well afterward; accounts of its length put it at about 40 to 50 minutes.
He said he had felt nervous while presenting before the operation, but thanked people for their messages and prayers.
He plans to return to work on Wednesday, taking care during his recovery.
