Brentt Leakes reveals he underwent heart transplant surgery

Nene Leakes’ youngest son, Brentt Leakes, hasn’t had it easy the previous couple of years. In addition to the lack of his father, the 25-year-old is battling quite a few health problems. Brentt recently shared together with his social media followers that he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure earlier this 12 months.

“First of all, let me say, ‘Thank you, God.’ This year has undoubtedly been the craziest for me. After several hospital visits and multiple doctor visits, I finally heard the unexpected news that I had been diagnosed with ‘congestive heart failure’ on June 19 (Ish) 😞,” he wrote within the caption of his Instagram post. The post included a series of photos and videos showing Brentt recovering from surgery.

The caption continued: “I had a 14-hour heart transplant surgery in July this 12 months and now I actually have a brand recent heart inside me. Now that I’m back (still in recovery), I principally needed to learn find out how to walk and communicate again, but I speak more fluently,” he wrote. Some of the videos Brentt posted show him apparently struggling to get through the hospital and receiving help from doctors.

“This experience changed my life FOREVER. Thank you very much to the family who gave their heart! A huge thank you to MY MOM, marshella, Nyoni, Big Janae, Nikiyah, my friends, doctors, nurses and everyone else who pushed, pulled and prayed me through this ❤️ Never give up. 🤞🏾,” the message ended.

The graduate commented on her youngest son’s post, expressing her support.

“Glory be to God! It was A LOT! “I’m so proud of how strong you came through this process, son ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾,” she commented.

This is not the primary time Brentt has had health issues – he also suffered congestive heart failure and a stroke in 2022. He was only 23 years old then. Shortly after recovering from the traumatic event, Brentt showed fans how he lost 100 kilos.

Just a 12 months earlier, in September 2021, the entrepreneur lost his father, Gregg Leakes, to colon cancer on the age of 66.

We are completely satisfied that Brentt is recovering and is surrounded by all of the love he must get him back to good health.
