Rep. Debbie Dingell hospitalized after emergency ulcer surgery
U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., underwent emergency surgery on Friday for a perforated ulcer and is expected to be hospitalized for several days while she recovers.
"The procedure was successful and she is recovering well," her spokesperson, Mackenzie Smith said in a statement sent Friday night. Dingell, 67, also underwent jaw surgery earlier this year.
The surgery was performed at George Washington University Hospital in Washington and Dingell is expected to recover for five to seven days. In a message to the Detroit Free Press, she said she started to have a stomach ache Thursday that got worse Friday.
The always-energetic congresswoman seemed in good spirits, however.
"I may actually have to give up junk food and Diet Coke," she said.
A well-known politician in Michigan and Washington and a regular guest on news shows, Dingell is coming off a week in which she greeted President Joe Biden at Detroit Metro Airport and went with him as he toured Ford's electric vehicle facility in her district on Tuesday.
Dingell, who won the seat previously held by her late husband, Rep. John Dingell, in 2014, serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is a co-chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee.
John Dingell, the longest-serving member of Congress in its history, died in 2019 at age 92. Biden, a good friend of the Dingells, delivered a eulogy for Dingell at his funeral in Dearborn.
