Personal finance guru Suze Orman is resting at a Chicago hotel after having emergency appendectomy surgery over the weekend, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Orman, a Chicago native who has a show on CNBC, as well as being a regular contributor to Oprah Winfrey's magazine and TV show, had to have her appendix removed while in Chicago over the weekend, according to spokeswoman Kristin Bouton.
The surgery was performed Saturday night at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, she said. A hospital spokeswoman was unable to confirm the information, saying Orman's name was not listed on a patient database.
Orman was released from the hospital Tuesday and has been resting in a Chicago hotel before going back home to Florida, Bouton said. "She'll be taking a couple days to recover" before leaving, she said.
Orman grew up on the South Side, earned a bachelor’s degree in social work at the University of Illinois, according to her bio. At the age of 30 she was a waitress making $400 a month. Since then she has become a best-selling author, Emmy-winning TV show host, magazine and online columnist, and motivational speaker.
