Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson might be out of the hospital, but that doesn't mean she's feeling any better.

Despite a report that the hospital visit was caused by anxiety over her recent divorce filing, Gunvalson says that what she has is a purely biological condition.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson tells E! exclusively that she's been released from the hospital after experiencing internal bleeding Thursday night due to ulcers in her colon.

 

Despite rumors that the hospital visit was caused by anxiety over her recent divorce filing, Gunvalson says this is a purely biological condition.

 

"It's not due to anxiety," says Gunvalson. "It's not due to a divorce. I'm very sick. I was hemorrhaging. It was very scary. I have internal bleeding in my colon and they fixed it."

 

Gunvalson, who is currently in a wheelchair, tells E! she had surgery two hours ago and is now headed home with her daughter and required to be on bed rest for a while.

 

"I'm not feeling good," says Gunvalson. "They said I'll be ok. It could flare up again, but I'm very healthy and I didn't do anything to cause this. People just get sick. I'm going to be ok."

 

And despite her recent spilt, Gunvalson's soon-to-be ex-husband Don came to the hospital to visit her.

 

"It's amicable," says Gunvalson of the divorce. "We're perfect. We're not fighting. "
