Before she opened up about her neck surgery, Kim dealt with a number of serious health issues.
While she was traveling back in September 2015, Kim suffered a mini-stroke that was caused by a blood clot. After doctors found out that she had a hole in her heart, she underwent surgery to fix the issue.
In 2016, Kim spoke to The Daily Dish about how her health issues had changed her perspective.
"There's parts of me that are very thankful for my stroke and how I've evolved. I'm just not as attached to [questions like], 'Where are we going to live? What are we going to do?' It doesn't matter," she explained. "We'll work it out and we'll figure it out, which is actually a really awesome feeling."
