Teddi Mellencamp Gives Post-Surgery Update

For Teddi Mellencamp, she has had a rough time with skin cancer. She even threw it in Vicki Gunvalson’s face at BravoCon. They were supposed to squash their beef but Teddi noted that Vicki’s real problem could be that she had actual cancer. This was a reference to Gunvalson’s ex-boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, who faked cancer when she was a RHOC regular. Vicki did not like this all that much but Teddi was firm in how she felt especially since they were desperate to get her cancer under control. She revealed she was using a different treatment, immunotherapy, but it failed.

Therefore, she decided to have surgery on the 26th to cut out the portion of her back that has melanoma. It will then be replaced with skin from another part of her body. She underwent the procedure with her Two Ts In A Pod co-host, Tamra Judge, sending her well wishes. Now, on Teddi’s Instagram, she has posted an update as to how she is doing in the aftermath. She showed three photos, two laying in bed, and the third of her back marked up as to signal where the incision would be made.

Teddi Mellencamp explained exactly what they did and how she is feeling. Though she is in pain, she is grateful and admits that it is all worth it. Finally, she reminded everyone to get their skin checked to avoid this or to catch it early. Fans and followers flooded her comment section, including Dorit Kemsley calling her a “tough cookie.”

  • You got this lady! You are tougher and stronger than you think and we are all behind you wishing well
  • You’re a superhero! Almost done!

A Happy Holiday

Prior to the surgery, Teddi Mellencamp was determined to have a very Merry Christmas, which she did. She gathered her kids and husband, Edwin Arroyave together. Plus, her father, John Mellencamp, donned matching pajamas which was quite the sight. This was the best send-off for the accountability coach so she can now have a positive recovery.

What do you think of Teddi’s choice in surgery and do you get your skin checked? Or, have you been avoiding that? Let us know and we send Teddi lots of healing love.
