Robyn Brown came under fire when Sister Wives viewers felt that she made the topic of Ysabel’s surgery scar about herself. As Monsters & Critics previously reported, Kody and Christine Brown’s daughter Ysabel underwent back surgery to correct the curvature in her spine caused by scoliosis.
Sister Wives Did Christine’s daughter Ysabel get spinal surgery? PHOTOS One of the many cliffhangers left after the Sister Wives Season 15 finale is whether or not Christine Brown’s daughter, Ysabel Brown, was able to get the spinal surgery she needed to correct the painful curvature of her spine due to scoliosis.
The surgery only made Ysabel stronger and more determined to heal. The young Sister Wives star also shared her scar with fans saying if they were contemplating having the surgery, she would recommend it. Ysabel reveals she applies CBD oil on her scar every night to help with the healing process and said the cream even helped with the pain.

When is Ysabel’s surgery?
Ysabel’s surgery was scheduled for the fall of 2020, and was to take place in New Jersey. In that same April 18 episode (which was filmed prior to the scheduled surgery), Kody expressed that he was not comfortable traveling to New Jersey from Flagstaff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the past, she wore braces and completed special exercises to try to keep the curve in her spine from getting worse. However, audiences found out in the April 18, 2021 episode of Sister Wives that despite Ysabel’s dedication and hard work, her scoliosis continued to plague her life, causing intense pain.
Among them is Ysabel — Christine’s second-youngest child (who is currently 17 years old). Long-time viewers also know that Ysabel was diagnosed with scoliosis …
If you’ve been watching Sister Wives since it first started airing back in 2010, then you’ve watched most of Kody’s grow up right before your very eyes. Several of the Brown family kids (including Logan, Aspyn, and Mariah) are now in their early- to mid-20s! Article continues below advertisement.
He even suggested that maybe Ysabel could travel to New Jersey alone in order to get the surgery — a proposal that Christine immediately shot down, telling Ysabel she would never make her travel alone to get surgery. (Kody admitted to producers later that his suggestion had been ill-advised, though we didn’t see him apologize to Ysabel …

Why does Kody have surgery on Ysabel?
One of the first things out of Christine’s mouth is that it took five or six months to get insurance. The reason Ysabel needs surgery is because of her scoliosis.
Christine refreshes viewers’ memories by letting them know that Ysabel was diagnosed when she was 15. In a confessional segment of Sister Wives, Christine starts to get noticeably emotional when explaining Ysabel’s condition.
After that, they would have to remain in New Jersey for 10 days after that so Ysabel can be. monitored. Shockingly, Kody suggests pushing the surgery back six months “because of the pandemic.”. Even more shockingly, in a calm voice, Christine explains that rescheduling isn’t an option due to Ysabel’s pain level.
Unfortunately, this causes Christine’s daughter pain. So, the time has come to discuss surgical options. Christine explains the timeline of her surgery. Christine and Ysabel will have to travel to New Jersey, get there on a Monday, and Ysabel will probably get the surgery on Wednesday/Thursday.
When she isn’t “momming,” working, or writing- you can find her crocheting like a granny: cuddling cats and all.
However, there is no word about whether or not, Ysabel’s father, Ko dy joins them in New Jersey. Given how adamant he is about not traveling during the pandemic, Sister Wives fans wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t go. Just another reason that so many people can’t stand Kody Brown.
Ultimately, Kody gets heated as he explains that he’s not traveling with Christine and Ysabel. He keeps reiterating that Ysabel should wait for the surgery. He doesn’t seem to understand the urgency. Christine explains that Ysabel is at a pain level of an 8 or 9 out of 10 consistently.
