Hills veteran reveals ‘very tough’ endometriosis surgery that made her feel ‘lonely’

Lo Bosworth opened up about having surgery for her endometriosis.

The star of Laguna Beach and The Hills, 38, revealed she was suffering from the painful disease that affects women in March.

Bosworth sat down with DailyMail.com to talk about her recovery, her fiancé Dom Natale and wedding planning. 

‘My recovery was significantly more challenging than I anticipated,’ Lo said. 

‘My surgeon before said it’s going to be a solid two weeks at home, and I didn’t really believe that or buy into it, and boy was he right.

‘I was really taken aback by how significant it was, and my surgery itself was more complicated than I had anticipated, and they ended up taking out six fibroids,’ she explained.

‘They took out my appendix, so I had some really deep scars or cuts through my abdominal wall, which I wasn’t prepared for, so I could barely sit up for the first 10 days without help. So it was rough.’

While Lo was recovering from her major surgery, her fiancé Domenic ‘Dom’ Natale was recovering from jaw surgery that he had just eight weeks earlier but despite that, he stepped up and took care of his future wife.

‘He’s so amazing. I mean, he waited on me hand and foot afterwards because I truly needed the help. 

‘I could not sit up without his help for the first few days. I could barely get out of bed. So he was just a king taking care of me. It was amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better partner,’ she gushed.

Bosworth said there was a surprising side effect of the recurrent surgeries.

‘We really formed such a strong unit. We’ve been through a lot, but he’s the best. I couldn’t ask for a better partner,’ she said.

Endometriosis ‘is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus,’ according to the World Health Organization.

The organization estimated that approximately 190 million women have the disease worldwide.

‘It was a bigger surgery and a more complex recovery than I anticipated,’ Bosworth admitted to People at the 13th Annual Endometriosis Foundation of America’s Blossom Ball 

‘I felt really isolated and lonely throughout my recovery. I had my fiancé taking care of me, but I hadn’t really told many people beyond just my immediate circle.’ Seen here March 29, 2025

With Lo and Dom’s surgeries now behind them, they can focus on wedding planning.

‘We’re planning a small wedding with our family. That’s all I’ll say!,’ she giddily told DailyMail.com.

But when it comes to her brand Love Wellness, she had a lot to say. Since leaving reality TV, she’s been focused on her wellness company which creates supplements and other products for vaginal health.

‘Everything’s going really well. We are expanding in more retail. We just launched in the feminine care section of Walmart, which is a really significant expansion for us and in general, everything’s going really well,’ she was excited to share.

Bosworth continued: ‘We continue to grow the team. We just launched a product called Hello Burn Activate, which focuses on supporting healthy levels of visceral fat. 

‘So we have a lot of fun stuff coming down the pipe for the rest of the year. It’s at Target and Walmart.’

Bosworth and Natale’s surgeries come after the couple got engaged in January.

Little is known about the pair’s relationship, including how they met or when they started dating.

However, there was a surprising side effect of the recurrent surgeries. ‘We really formed such a strong unit’

Domenic’s LinkedIn reveals that he went to Rutgers University for his bachelor’s degree and was the football team’s quarterback after transferring from Michigan State.

He got his MBA at Fordham University with an emphasis on finance.

Natalie works in finance and is currently the Senior Director, Orix Credit Opportunities at ORIX Corporation.

Bosworth rose to fame alongside Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti, Morgan Smith, Christina Sinclair, Trey Phillips and Dieter Schmitz.

While speaking about The Hills last year while appearing on Just B with Bethenny Frankel, Bosworth admitted her relationships were ‘challenged’ on the show.

‘We were very young women constantly put into compromised situations where we had to blood sport it out against each other to get through a day of production,’ she said.
