Back in 2017, Selena was the fortunate recipient of a donor organ. Something many people die waiting on. And many people shy away from sharing the bumpy red lines left from having your insides removed and replaced. But Selena is, as she should be, proud to have made it through such a thing.
In a caption accompanying a picture posted to Instagram, Gomez, wearing a blue swimsuit, said at first she found it difficult to show her scar.
“When I got my kidney transplant, I remember it being very difficult at first showing my scar. I didn’t want it to be in photos, so I wore things that would cover it up,” she wrote on Instagram on Thursday.
“Now, more than ever, I feel confident in who I am and what I went through…and I’m proud of that. T – Congratulations on what you’re doing for women, launching @lamariette whose message is just that…all bodies are beautiful.”
