Did they lie about Melania's procedure?

When she was first at Walter Reed Hospital, the information was that she underwent a procedure that doctors say was usually done on an outpatient basis.

This morning it became: "She can't fly for a month. She had a big operation. She had a 4 hour operation."

Melania is entitled to privacy, but why are they lying? What is the purpose of lying? I don't get it.

that fact. The last appearances they have made together have been strained, to say the least. Maybe she's tired of the charade and won't play along anymore.

Plastic surgery. Nobody had speculated that, but dump did all the curious people (myself NOT included) a favor and told them.

Abdominal surgery increases the risk of developing a DVT in flight even more. My sis had to wait several weeks to get her doctor's medical release following hysterectomy surgery.

Trump will lie about anything. Even if it's unnecessary and serves no purpose, he prefers to lie. He lied lied about whatever surgery Melania had, fueling the rumor mill, but as the bits and pieces stack up, it wasn't some minor procedure.
