Heartbreaking Update! 90 Day Fiancé’s Loren Brovarnik Shocks Fans with Devastating News!
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star Loren Brovarnik’s always been candid about her health issues on social media. Loren met her husband Alexei Brovarnik during a Birthright trip to Israel for 10 days when he was her group’s medic. Loren had volunteered to be a trip staff and was a Birthright Israel alumna at the time. Loren and Alexei spent a year in a long-distance relationship. Alexei then came to the U.S. on a K-1 visa as seen on 90 Day Fiancé season 3.
They welcomed their first son, Shai, in 2020, followed by, Asher, in 2021. Loren and Alexei had three kids in three years as they welcomed baby Ariel in September 2022. After documenting their journey as new parents in Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days, the pair have returned to the franchise with 90 Day Fiancé:Happily Ever After? Loren’s storyline is focused on her regaining her pre-baby body by undergoing the knife. Loren’s mom is worried about Loren’s health as she undergoes the procedure, which could involve her popping a blood vessel and potentially bleeding during and after surgery.
Loren’s upcoming surgery has her family, especially her mother, deeply concerned. The procedure, which aims to address a long-standing health issue Loren has been dealing with, comes with significant risks. Doctors have warned that there’s a possibility a blood vessel could rupture during surgery, potentially causing internal bleeding. This risk extends not only during the operation but also during the recovery phase, making the aftermath even more dangerous.
Loren’s mother is especially terrified by this prospect, understanding that any complications could lead to long-term health consequences or worse. Despite reassurances from the medical team, the family can’t shake their feeling of unease. Adding to the pressure is the responsibility of taking care of her children while undergoing this challenging period. Loren’s mother is particularly worried about the physical and emotional strain the surgery will impose on her daughter. As the surgery date draws closer, tensions are running high as the family prepares for all possible outcomes, hoping for the best but fearing the worst.
Loren Is An Ambassador For The Tourette Association of America
Loren first spoke about having Tourette Syndrome on an episode of 90 Day Fiancé in 2016. Loren had been upset because Alexei had told his mother about her diagnosis without her permission. Loren didn’t discuss the condition until after the first season of the show aired, and she received a lot of negative comments about her tics online. Fans assumed Loren was on drugs due to her involuntary movements. They also made fun of her “wonky eye.” However, Loren is now using her platform to bring awareness to the syndrome. Loren no longer feels the need to hide her symptoms.
“I’m ticking in front of you, I’m twitching in front of you. I don’t care because it’s part of me.”
Loren told People in 2019 about how she wants to help change the way people perceive Tourette Syndrome. Loren became an ambassador for the Tourette Association of America. Tourette’s even affected her pregnancies. In an interview with ET, Loren mentioned how she was “ticking so bad” during her second pregnancy. Loren and Alexei said they weren’t worried about having children because they knew that if any of them had it, they would “deal with it.” Loren has started to talk about Tourette more and has become comfortable in her own skin.
Loren Has Opened Up About Having Post-Partum Depression
Loren Isn’t Afraid Of Being Vulnerable
Loren started speaking candidly about her postpartum journey a month after welcoming her first child in 2020.
“I’ve felt excited, exhausted, scared, in pain and every other emotion you can think of!
Loren had posted a selfie on Instagram with her emotional caption. She said that she’d experienced some postpartum depression and was struggling with judgment and people sharing unsolicited advice. She said she’d been a “nervous nelly.” Loren had some worries about being a parent. She found herself questioning if she was putting her son’s diaper on too tight or if she was nursing him properly and burping him enough. Loren asked if it was okay for her to cry.
Being a new mom was a rollercoaster of emotions for Loren. Having the baby earlier than expected had amplified her stress levels. In September 2022, Loren’s daughter was still in the NICU and the young mom broke down on Instagram. Loren was looking at baby pics of her little boys and started to “UNCONTROLLABLY” cry. She said the PPD was “10x harder” for her this time. Loren felt “beyond” emotionally drained and “literally not happy.” Loren wanted to be left alone all the time. Her fans’ kind words meant the “world” to her during this difficult time.
Loren Had To Deal With Gestational Diabetes
Loren Was Diagnosed During Her Third Pregnancy
Loren was told some difficult health news on an episode of Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days while she was preparing to welcome her daughter Ariel. Loren learned that she had gestational diabetes. She needed to closely monitor her blood sugar and was told to monitor her diet. Loren explained to the cameras that babies tend to grow faster when the mother has gestational diabetes. If Loren didn’t get her diet under control, she’d have to start insulin, and she was terrified of needles. Loren was going to have to get her blood drawn four times a day.
Loren also had to “pee on a stick every single morning.” While it was hard at first, Loren thought she was doing “Really good.” Loren used to have cravings when she was pregnant with Shai and Asher. However, Loren wasn’t craving anything when she was pregnant a third time. She just wanted a little bit of everything. Loren was ordered to have two weeks of bed rest after having contractions at just 32 weeks pregnant. She was told to deliver the baby a week later. Ariel had to spend time in the NICU and was brought home almost two months later.
Loren Reveals She Has Abdominal Diastasis
Loren Reveals Real Reason To Undergo “Mommy Makeover”
Loren explained that one of the lasting effects of her having three C-sections in two and a half years was abdominal diastasis. Loren’s abdominal muscles had separated and they “won’t go back.” 90 Day Fiance‘s Loren was getting cosmetic surgery to repair her abdominal rectus diastasis. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Diastasis recti is a common condition in pregnant and postpartum people. It occurs when the rectus abdominis muscles (six-pack ab muscles) separate during pregnancy from being stretched. It could make a person’s belly stick out and make it look like they’re pregnant for months or years after pregnancy.
