First lady Melania Trump underwent kidney surgery Monday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington, DC, according to a statement from her office.
Trump had been experiencing an issue with her kidney that her office described as benign but requiring medical attention.
"This morning, first lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. The procedure was successful and there were no complications," the first lady's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.
"Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there for the duration of the week. The first lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere," Grisham wrote.
Trump, who turned 48 last month, entered Walter Reed in nearby Bethesda, Maryland, on Monday morning and is expected to remain hospitalized for several days following the operation, according to the statement.
She is the first US first lady to undergo such a serious medical procedure while in the White House since Nancy Reagan had a mastectomy in October 1987. Rosalynn Carter underwent surgery to remove a benign lump from her breast in April 1977. Weeks after Betty Ford became first lady, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy in September 1974.

May God bless Mrs. Trump and give her a full and quick recovery.
Notice that the CNN article snarkily notes that the President remained at the White House during Melania’s procedure. Never mind that there could be a whole host of reasons why the couple chose to handle things as they did. CNN just has to take a shot.
would that include kidney stones or only a benign tumor? I was thinking maybe the former.
“Now we know why Trump didn’t go to Israel.”
Exactly.
Heavenly Father please heal our dear Melania ......the President needs her, he has called her his ‘rock’......Please restore her quickly and completely and comfort our President, Barron, her parents and ALL who love her!
The ‘rat infestation’ and mold problems were at the original Walter Reed on Georgia Ave. It was closed on August 27, 2011. It was opened in 1909 and went through several expansions during its 102 years of existence. And a variety of problems.
Praying for our Dear First Lady, in Jesus name, for a full recovery! Amen.
Yes!!!!
I just addressed a card to her - it’s going out in the morning mail.

Amen!!
Thank for that great idea...to send Get Well cards to our dear First Lady.
Indeed, they do, dear KC.
This will completely flush out the haters....so we can flush them out!!
It was Mr.K’s idea - I just added her address hoping others will follow suit! :)
Walter Reed-Bethesda are DoD hospitals, not VA.
We all need to pray for Mrs. Trump’s speedy recovery.
Did DJT go to visit her yet? No story on that.Who’s with her right now?
She is probably still unconscious after surgery. There is no doubt that Mr. Trump is getting regular reports from the hospital.
Praying for you “Boss Lady”......I have seen FLOTUS ladies from FDR through DJT and Melania, you is the best one ever. Get well quick, fine, class, loyal, dedicated, patriotic, First Lady. We Americans, the rank and file, love ya to the ends of the universe. God Bless and watch over you and your family!!!
