She also previously shared on social media how she was back home and recuperating as she heaped praise on the hospital staff and her surgeon for being so ‘kind’ and ‘caring’
Lorraine previously shared a video from her hospital bed on May 3, revealing that she was having the operation.
Reassuring fans, she explained she was being well looked after and that the surgery was for ‘purely preventative’ reasons, after she’d been unwell for some time.
She then confirmed on May 4 that she was back home and recuperating as she heaped praise on the hospital staff and her surgeon for being so ‘kind’ and ‘caring’.
The host shared a snap of herself surrounded by healthcare professionals, sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a T-shirt paying tribute to her late friend Dame Deborah James.
While last week, Lorraine revealed some positive news to her social media followers and even gave an exciting update on her popular programme.
She said: ‘Thanx for all your lovely messages I’m recovering well. So proud of my top team – punching above our weight and bucking the trend.
‘Just heard our ratings are up – we had the highest March for four years. Thanks @vixkennedy and the gang! Always know how to cheer me up [love heart]’
The procedure to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes is known as an laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
It is typically done preventively to remove the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
According to the NHS, it is suggested you stay off work for two to four weeks after having the surgery, meaning Lorraine may have to take a break from presenting her daytime show.
