"I will be undergoing surgery and will be down at least a month," Martson told her followers on Friday, alongside a photo of a sign reading "out of service for repairs," adding that she "will no longer be doing any new promos, endorsements, cameos, or any PR" starting Feb. 8.
"Fans, all I ask for is prayers. I will not be sharing much information about my health any longer, my willingness to overshare came with nothing but scrutiny and backlash," she continued. "I need to focus on my health, family, and recovery for that month. I appreciate all who support me very much ❤️ #90dayfiance #tlc #healthcomesfirst."

Martson was hospitalized over Christmas with complications from lupus, an autoimmune disease which causes inflammation, pain and damage to the body. On Jan. 13, she shared a photo of herself from her hospital bed, vowing that she wouldn't let the disease "beat me."
"I’m strong enough to battle through this, not just for myself but for my kids,” Martson said. “I will be transferred to another hospital this evening that is better equipped. Please pray for myself and my family as I know it’s going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us. Thank you for your continuous support and prayers."
