Barbara Walters Reveals Health Condition


Renowned journalist Barbara Walters opened up on her show "The View" on Monday about a health issue that will have her going under the knife.


Walters told the panel that she has a faulty heart valve and is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week. She explained that one of the valves was getting "tighter and smaller" and that it needed to be replaced. "Nobody wants to have this kind of surgery," Walters said on the show. "It's not elective."
Walters says she plans to recover from her operation during the show's summer hiatus and then come "roaring back" to "The View." She said recovery time for an operation of this nature can take between one to three months.
The talk-show maven tweeted Monday, "Having surgery this week on one heart valve. Will be just fine send u love."
