Dancing With The Stars Pro Julianne Hough to Have Her Appendix Removed
Last week’s trip to the hospital was more than just a tummy ache. According to Julianne’s blog, she’ll be undergoing surgery this week:
Julianne Hough, Mercury Nashville recording artist and two time à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Dancing with the Starsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ champion has been diagnosed with Endometriosis and will be undergoing minor surgery to remove her appendix. Hough experienced mild stomach pains last week and was taken to Cedars Sinai medical center. After consulting with her doctor, this course of treatment was recommended. Hough will address the surgery on Monday nightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Dancing with the Starsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ where sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll perform with celebrity partner Cody Linley.
E! Online reports Julianne scheduled for surgery tomorrow, and that she could come back to the show as early as next week, but until she’s cleared to dance, her celebrity partner, Cody Linley will be paired with another dancer.
I swear, this this crew is cursed! For a nice summary of all the injuries this year, check out this timeline. Holy cow!



I guess I’ll make my prediction again:
At this rate, Cloris Leachman will win by default.
Who’da thought that the 82 year old would be the toughest of the bunch? Who will go down next? Maurice, I would watch your step……
Bummer for Julianne and her fans.
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I’m wondering how endometriosis can cause one’s appendix to need to come out… would someone enlighten me?
Bummer for them though. This show really is cursed!
My guess would be that the endometriosis caused scar tissue to attach to the appendix. It does sound unusual though.
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing about endometriosis and appendectomy. I’ve heard of hysterectomy for it, but appendectomy is just plain weird.
Ok….thanks peeps. I thought I was thinking of some other medical issue. I still don’t get how the appendix and endometriosis go together though.
I think I found the answer at this site
I needed that laugh…thanks
Thank you J!
I can not believe Julianne will be back sooner than 2-3 weeks. I don’t recall anything like this happening before. At least Jody proved he can really dance and will be in good hands with Edyta.
Wishing Julianna the best with her surgery and a speedy recovery!
