- “She Just had surgery but Katie still has to shill on Instagram. Girl go rest omg,” the poster said.
- “I mean she probably doesn’t have health insurance so she’s gotta pay that surgery bill somehow,” another commenter added.

Bringing Up Bates: Fans Think Katie Bates Had No Choice
Some Reddit users from the same thread also speculated that Katie doesn’t have a choice but to start promoting due to possible deadlines. Others also recalled that she just had her stent removed, which would have made her feel completely back to normal.
- “Those brand deals probably have deadlines as to when you are supposed to have a video up by,” one Redditor said.
- “Having a stent in is miserable. As soon as that stent comes out (as long as the stone is gone), then you feel almost 100% back to normal immediately. It’s not surprising that she is able to film videos or do her make up after her stent came out,” another commenter added.
