Ariel Lin underwent brain surgery; irritable after operation, she tearily complained to her mom for 6 days and nights


Ariel on March 18, went to the hospital for her follow up check-up

Ariel Lin's health is in the red. About getting brain surgery, she finally admitted yesterday, "I had a tumor on my pituitary gland, it was two centimeters long and I had it surgically removed last month. This one month or so, I've matured more than the last 26 years. At one point, I was really scared. I was really worried that I would die." She expressed that, this time, besides being for the pains of her endocrine imbalances, the surgery also allowed her to open up more to connect with her mother. While at the hospital, she was unable to control her emotions and tearily complained to her mom for 6 days and 6 nights, only sleeping when she became too tired to stay awake. Once awake, they would immediately continue bonding.

Ariel said that these past few years, although she controlled her diet, she still would gain weight and her periods were never on schedule. Last June, she had a full body exam which included a CT scan of her brain. It was finally discovered that the problem was in her brain. In the sella, there was an oval shaped tumor. Doctors said that the tumor was nearing the hypothalamus and if it grew any larger, it could have affected her vision. So early this year when she had some time off, she immediately had the operation done in February.

She recalled that: "Before getting full body anesthesia, I was actually very scared. My mom was also scared, so I acted very strong. Up until I was given the anesthesia, I pretended to be calm." Fortunately the surgery was successful. For the following 1 to 2 weeks, due to the operation, she would feel dizzy, sick to the stomach, have bloody noses, and most severely, she would have a short temper.

This whole time, when with her mom, she was very open. Unexpectedly, like a flood, she chatted nonstop with her mom. She said, "It's hard to describe. We expressed our feelings from the bottom of our hearts. Always before, our requests and torments have been invisible to each other. From picking out our faults, loving dearly, and encouraging each other, we found happiness together. We talked until we were hoarse. My mom kept telling me not to talk, but I continually talked for 6 days and 6 nights." Afterwards, she got a throat inflammation and went yesterday to the ENT for an exam.

Ariel's sickness led her to come to a realization. "Before I was always very strict with myself, but now I must change. Especially that both my mom are very restrained, and don't express our feelings. I must slowly change." Her health is in stable condition. In two months, she must return for a follow up. She is already preparing for an album recording.

Taipei Medical University Hospital's Surgical Department Head, Jiang Yong Xiao, states that the cause for a cyst in the sella, a kind of pituitary gland tumor, is unknown. It is more prevalent in women and can affect the endocrine system, secretion of breast milk, and vision. Early symptoms are headaches, abnormal bodily cycles, unclear vision, etc. This problem can be found through a CT scan of the brain. Operation on this can be done through the nasal cavity using an endoscope or microscope. This would leave no scar, but a relapse is possible after surgery because it is difficult to completely remove the tumor, so regular check-ups are necessary.

I hope she gets well soon, it sounds very serious...and they always say it's okay until they can't hide it anymore. sheis so young! very sad to hear about her condition...but what endocrine problem is she suffering from exactly? what is the medical term for it?

Since this news is directly from Ariel, so I think she's OK and ready to say something.

It should be confirmation that she's fully recovery and healty.

She should take more relaxation than ever.

Jia You - Ariel I'll always cheer you.

Hmmn, I think her management company tried not to let the news be revealed but it was discovered by reporters. Glad that Ariel has since spoken up to clarify so that media wont continue to speculate the extent of her sickness.

Since Ariel is going to focus on her singing and recording, it this the real reason why her management company wanted her to turn down GTV drama serial Skip Beat and not as earlier reported as being dissatisfied about Ariel being treated less fairly as compared to male actors in GTV drama serial??

[angelanne]

So she really have surgery last month.
And she have to keep it within herself...
I hope she is feeling better now...
And her health problems will be resolve.
Jia You Ariel

[ForbiddenApple]

This news scared me to death...hope she fully recover now which I know she certainly is based on this news and someone info

[Tiffiany_45]

but if she had brain surgery isnt she bald?

I think the kind of surgery she had they didn't go through a brain flap, but went through other means. I've never studied medicine nor have I ever known anyone to go through something like it, so I don't know the specifics, but I know for some surgeries you don't go through the brain...

Plus, she wouldn't be completely bald, it most likely would be just a patch of hair....
~~~~~

I'm so thankful she is ok. I'm thinking maybe this illness had more to do with Ariel backing out of EC than anything else. I'm glad she's taking time for herself and going to completely recover.

I LOVE YOU, ARIEL!!! Jia you! I can't wait until you are perfectly healthy again! XOXO

~Tiffiany~

[jumping45]

[runway maldita]
