Jennifer Arnold, one of the two stars of the show "The Little Couple" on TLC recently underwent hip surgery right when the new season premiered. Fans were relieved to see that the surgery seems to have gone well, since Jennifer posted an Instagram of herself on crutches looking happy and healthy.

Jen wrote on her Instagram that "Being a little person can mean a life with surgery," this latest one being her 35th round. In the face of health issues and nerve-wracking surgeries, fans are calling Jen a "fighter" on Instagram by keeping up her positive attitude during the whole ordeal.

The procedure was documented on the season premiere of "Little People," which came out August 6th. In it, Jen's mother and husband were by her side as she prepared for the big event. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bostrom from the Hospital for Special Surgery explained that the procedure was a revision of her previous hip surgery. It seems like one of the components was loose and other parts are very worn out.

There are several considerations when preparing for surgery, but for little people, they multiply exponentially. Hip component size and anesthesia doses being some of them. Jen and her husband Bill both seemed worried but put on brave faces for each other and joked together in the prep room.

Bill admitted his fears in a confessional, saying,

"Part of me knows exactly what it feels like, and part of me is just sick to my stomach that I’m watching her have to go through it."

Thankfully he has an army of fans by his side to support the couple, who understand his perspective and applaud their strength in facing these hard times.
